Biography[edit]
After studying with Simon-Claude Constant-Dufeux at the École des Beaux-Arts, he became Eugène Viollet-le-Duc's substitute for the History and Composition of Ornament course at the École Nationale et Spéciale de Dessin from 1843.[4]
In 1840, he was appointed to the Commission des Monuments Historiques, after having surveyed the church of Saint-Nicolas in Caen.[5] In 1844, he asked to be appointed inspector of works at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. On December 20, 1848,[6] he was appointed diocesan architect for Notre-Dame Cathedral in Bayeux, and for diocesan buildings in Coutances and Séez.[4] From 1874, he oversaw restoration work on the Church of Saint-Étienne in Caen (Abbey aux Hommes), the Château de Falaise from 1864, the Church of Saint-Samson in Ouistreham and the Church of Hambye.[4]
He has also been active in other regions, restoring the Château d'Amboise, the tower of the ancient Château d'Oudon, and the churches of Saint-Martin d'Argentan and Saint-Sauveur in Dinan.
His son and pupil Gabriel Ruprich-Robert (1859–1953) was also Chief Architect and Inspector General.[5]
