Debut Jean-Didier (Moulins, June 4, 1824 - Paris, April 1893), Sculptor, French school.
Son of Claude Blaise Debut, captain in the Somme mounted hunter regiment, and Joséphine Rocdot.
He entered the Ecole Royale des Beaux-Arts on September 19, 1842, introduced by Pierre Jean David, known as David d'Angers. In 1845, he was awarded a mention in the composition competition.
After several attempts, he was awarded the Second Grand Prix de Rome for sculpture on September 13, 1851.
He persevered for the First Prize, but in 1852 and 1853 was only awarded fifth place.
He was a frequent participant in the Salon de la Société des artistes français until his death, exhibiting mainly plaster statuettes.
It is mainly through the publication of his Orientalist-inspired sculptures that the artist owes his reputation today.
