Jean-Antoine Alavoine

First Name Jean-Antoine

Died on November 15, 1834

Born in France, Île-de-France

Jean-Antoine Alavoine was a French architect best known for his column in the Place de la Bastille, Paris (1831–1840), the July Column to memorialize those fallen in the Revolution of 1830. The column, consciously larger-scaled than the column in the Place Vendôme, has a capital freely based on the Corinthian order, with exaggerated corner volutes flanking putti holding swags, a complicated and somewhat incoherent design that found no imitators.
