Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier (9 May 1784 – 25 September 1853) was a French sculptor and engraver of coins and medals.
Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier was the son of Pierre-Joseph Tiolier (1763–1819). He was born in Paris. He was a pupil of his father and of the engraver Romain-Vincent Jeuffroy (1749–1826) and the sculptor Claude Dejoux (1732–1816).[1] The first competition of the Prix de Rome was for a stone engraving of the seated Emperor Napoleon crowned with laurels.[2] On 25 June 1805 Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier, the sole candidate, won the prize.[3] As a prize winner, Tiolier lived at the Villa Medici in Rome from 1806 to 1811.[4] He made a portrait of Raphael.[5]
Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier succeeded his father as 16th general engraver of coins in September 1816. He held his position until the end of December 1842.[2] Tolier was a Freemason. He was knighted in 1821. He engraved the seals of Louis XVIII, Charles X and the Order of the Holy Spirit, and also engraved medals for Louis-Philippe.[6] Besides engraving coins and medals, Tiolier was a sculptor and engraver in stone. He was made a knight of the Legion of Honor in July 1825.[2]
Tiolier died in Paris in 1843 and is buried in the 25th division of the Père Lachaise Cemetery.[7] He was succeeded as Graveur Général by Jacques-Jean Barre.[8] He had one son and one daughter, but they left no descendants.[6]
