Jean-Louis Grégoire, born in Paris in 1840 and died in the same city in 1890, is a French sculptor.
Son of a carver, student at the Paris School of Fine Arts, Jean-Louis Grégoire is the author of numerous works of an academic nature. He exhibited at the Salon from 1867 to 1890. We know of several works on classical subjects, but also linked to the war of 1870 and its consequences. Some were produced by the Susse foundry.
