The son of a painter, Daniel Dupuis studied painting at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Cavelier and medal engraving with Farochon and Ponscarme. He won the Rome Prize for his medals and exhibited as a medalist first in the Salon of 1877 and continuing until 1896. In Italy Dupuis imitated the lost wax method of Renaissance medals. A major representative of the renewal of the French medal, Dupuis was a prolific artist.
