Sculptor Jean De Marco (1898-1990) was born in Paris, France on May 2, 1898. He studied at the Ecole National des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and later taught sculpture at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School and the National Academy of Design, of which he was a member. He was also a member of the National Sculpture Society and the National Institute of Arts and Letters.

De Marco's work often had religious themes or subjects. Examples of his religious work may be seen at Notre Dame University, the House of Theology in Centerville, Ohio, and the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. His non-religious works include those at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum, and the War Memorial at the Presidio in San Francisco.

De Marco's work has been shown at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Academy of Design, the 1939 World's Fair, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He has won awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Academy of Design, and the National Sculpture Society, as well as the Daniel Chester French Award and the Henry Hering Medal.

De Marco and his wife, sculptress Clara Fasano, divided their time between New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut.
