  ITASSE Jeanne, Mrs. BROQUET (1865-1941)
  (Marie Gabrielle Zoé) Jeanne Itasse was born on September 21, 1865 in Paris (14th). She was the eldest daughter of the sculptor Adolphe Itasse and became his student.
  
  She made her debut at the Salon des artistes français in 1879 and exhibited regularly at this Salon until 1938. Jeanne Itasse-Broquet received numerous awards, including a medal at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and a silver medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1900. In 1891, she received a travel grant and an invitation from the Viceroy of Egypt for her sculpture Egyptian Harpist.
  
  Jeanne Itasse married the sculptor Gaston Broquet on August 19, 1911, in Auteuil.
  
  She designed, for Pouldreuzic (Finistère), the monument to the dead, whose architect Charles Chaussepied made the plan. The sculpture represents a soldier helping a wounded comrade. It was carved in the black stone of Kersanton by the Donnart brothers, granite cutters in Landerneau. The monument was inaugurated on September 24, 1922. Jeanne Itasse-Broquet is one of the few sculptors to have been commissioned to create a monument to the dead.
