A student of David d'Angers at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Hippolyte Maindron exhibited at the Salon from 1834 to 1880. In 1839, he enjoyed great success with a figure of Velléda contemplating Eudore's home, inspired by Book IX of Châteaubriand's Martyrs published in 1809. He also worked on numerous restoration projects for public monuments, including the Louvre, Pont-Neuf, Fontainebleau Palace and Sens Cathedral.
