Frédéric Brou (11 December 1862 - 15 May 1925) was a self-taught French painter and sculptor.
Born in Mauritius, he sculpted and exhibited in Boutteville from 1887 onwards. There he received advice from Antonin Larroux and Georges Lemaire. He exhibited the plaster modello for his sculpture Eve at the 1897 'salon des artistes français', exhibiting the finished work in marble at the same venue two years later, where it faced off against Rodin's work on the same subject. The French state commissioned a bust of Jules Ferry from him in 1899 and he regularly exhibited at the Société des artistes français.[1] He died in Pleumeur-Bodou.[2]
