Henri-Joseph Ruxthiel (born in 1775 in Lierneux, Belgium, and died in Paris in 1837) was a French sculptor. He belonged to the neoclassicism movement.
He was first shepherd, then sculptor in his late life. In 1800, he became the pupil of Jean-Antoine Houdon, then that of sculptor Philippe-Laurent Roland and the painter Jacques-Louis David. In 1809, he won the Prix de Rome for sculpture with a relief Dédale attachant des ailes à son fils Icare and then went to the Villa Medici.[1]
