André-Jean Lebrun was born in Paris in 1737. He studied under Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.[1] Lebrun won the Grand Prix of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1756.[2] He tied with the sculptor Pierre-François Berruer (1733–1797), winning a scholarship to the Villa Medici in Rome.[3] In Rome he made a number of statues for the church of San Carlo al Corso.[1] These included a statue of Judith. He also carved a bust of Pope Clement XIII (1768).[4] He became a member of the Académie de Saint-Luc and the Académie de Marseille.[2]

Lebrun was invited to Poland on the recommendation of Madame Geoffrin.[4] and was appointed chief sculptor to King Stanisław August Poniatowski.[5] He also worked in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where he made a bust of the Empress Maria Feodorovna.[4] In 1804, he became professor of sculpture at Vilnius University.[4]

He died in Vilnius in 1811.[1]
