Biography
Jouffroy was born in Dijon, the son of a baker, and attended the local drawing school before being admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1824. In 1832 he won the Prix de Rome. Jouffroy often had to compete with Pierre-Jean David d'Angers for public commissions, but during the Second Empire (1851–1870) still participated in the decoration of several public buildings.
Among his students were Jean Dampt, Léopold Morice, Augustus Saint-Gaudensi, and Adrien Étienne Gaudez. Jouffroy died at Laval, Mayenne in 1882.
