French sculptor
Louis-Marie-Charles-Henri Mercier Dupaty (29 September 1771, in Bordeaux – 12 November 1825, in Paris) was a French sculptor.
The eldest son of the magistrate Jean-Baptiste Mercier Dupaty and brother of the writer and "académicien" Emmanuel Mercier Dupaty, he was destined for the magistrature but preferred the arts. He studied in the atelier of François-Frédéric Lemot and obtained a " Premier Grand Prix" in sculpture, 1799, with his "Pericles visiting Anaxagoras". On his return from the French Academy in Rome he was named to the Institut de France, in 1816, then appointed a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts.
