His main influence seems to have been [[Jacques-Louis David]], though his career prior to the [[French Revolution]] is little known. During the Revolution he was heavily pro-Republican and played an active role as one of the presidents of the Societe Republicaine des Arts, making speeches favouring the use of antique costume and patriotic subjects. He exhibited regularly at the [[Paris Salon]], mainly portrait busts, from 1793.<br /> <br /> His career&#039;s peak came with state commissions during the [[French Consulate]] and [[First French Empire]], such as a plaster bust of [[Cicero]] (1803, Fontainebleau, Chateau), a plaster statue of Mirabeau (1804-5; present location unknown) for the [[Luxembourg Palace]], a marble relief of &#039;&#039;The Victory of Austerlitz&#039;&#039; for the [[Place du Carrousel#The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel|Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel]] (1810, still in situ) and marble allegorical reliefs for the Fontaine de la Paix in the Marche Saint-Germain in Paris (1810; now Rue Bonaparte).<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{commons category|Jean-Joseph Espercieux}}<br /> <br /> {{Authority control (arts)}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Espercieux}}<br /> [[Category:1757 births]]<br /> [[Category:1840 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:18th-century French sculptors]]<br /> [[Category:French male sculptors]]<br /> [[Category:19th-century French sculptors]]<br /> [[Category:Sculptors from Marseille]]<br /> [[Category:19th-century French male artists]]<br /> [[Category:18th-century French male artists]]</div>
