is a French neoclassical sculptor. He was a student of the sculptor Michelangelo Slodtz when he won the first prize in Rome in 1762. He then joined the Royal School for protected students. This success also allowed him to leave for Rome in 1765 where he stayed for five years at the Académie de France. From 1773, he exhibited at the Salon. He was appointed professor at the École des beaux-arts in 1805. Boizot worked mainly for the French capital, mainly creating sculpted decorations for public buildings. Boizot, however, acquired a certain notoriety when he succeeded, in 1774, replacing the sculptor Falconet at the head of the sculpture workshops of the Manufacture de Sèvres.
