Adrien-Etienne Gaudez was born in Lyon, France, on 2 February 1845. He was a pupil of Francois Jouffroy at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1862. He made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1864.
Gaudez worked almost exclusively in bronze and he produced a wide array of sculptures, ranging from genre subjects to military and patriotic themes.
His earlier work was mostly of a classical nature but in the latter part of his career he produced some sculpture that can be categorized as art nouveau.
In 1870 Gaudez was a prisoner of war during the Franco-Prussian War.
