Life

Allouard was a student of the sculptors Alexandre Schoenewerk and Eugène-Louis Lequesne . Until 1872 he earned his living as a bookseller before he could live from his art. From 1865 to 1928 he exhibited at the salons of the Société des Artistes Français in Paris. From 1889 he assessed works of sculpture and decorative arts submitted here as a member of the jury. He showed his work at the world exhibitions in Paris in 1889 and 1900 ; on the latter he won a gold medal. Abroad he was present at the Exhibition of the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1913.

As a painter, Allouard served the genre of history painting and landscape painting , but also depicted still lifes . His illustrations have appeared in publications such as Histoire de la Guerre 1870–71 , Théâtre choisi and Pour les grands et les petits, fables . He designed the painted decorations at the Panthéon , the Opéra Garnier and the Paris City Hall . As a sculptor he was known for his combinations of colored marble and bronze, but also worked with terracotta, ivory and precious metals. His sculptures are representative of the neo-baroque sculpture style. Smaller decorative works by Allouard were handcrafted and sold by the Éditeur d'art (art publisher) Arthur Goldscheider from 1903 onwards .

Allouard was chairman of the Les Parisiens de Paris association from 1904 . After his death in 1929, he was buried in Division 32 in the Père-Lachaise cemetery.
