Daniel Dupuis

Jean-Baptiste-Daniel Dupuis is the son of painter Étienne-Denis Dupuis and the brother of Pierre Dupuis, also a painter.

In 1865, his father enrolled him at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under Jules Cavelier. In 1868, he was awarded the second Prix de Rome in medal engraving and fine stone. At the same time, he was accepted as a drawing teacher for the Paris schools.

In 1872, just after the Franco-Prussian war, he won the first Grand Prix de Rome in medal engraving and fine stone. In 1879, he won first prize in a competition organized by the city of Paris to design a medal for the French Republic. He was also awarded the gold medal at the 1889 Universal Exhibition, for the commemorative medal of the exhibition. Awarded prizes at the annual Salons and at the Amsterdam, Antwerp and Brussels exhibitions, Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1881 and Officer in 1897, he designed many of the official medals of the day.
