Jean Baptiste Boudard (born in Paris in 1710, died in Sala Baganza on October 23, 1768) was a French sculptor of the XVIIIe century, who produced much of his work in Italy, in the Duchy of Parma and in Rome.
Jean-Baptiste was born in Paris in 1710; his father was director of coin hallmarks at the court of Louis XIV. He quickly demonstrated his artistic talent, winning the Prix de Rome for sculpture in 1732. He attended the French Academy in Rome (Palazzo Mancini), and in 1736 obtained his sculptor's licence, remaining in Rome until 1740, studying ancient works in the Capitoline and Vatican museums.
