ANGUIER, FRANCOIS (c. 16041669)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 42 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANGUIER, FRANCOIS (c. 16041669) , and MICHEL (16121686), French sculptors, were two
brothers
 , natives of Eu in Normandy. Their
apprenticeship
  was served in the studio of Simon Guillain. The
chief
  works of Francois are the
monument
  to Cardinal de Berulle, founder of the Carmelite order, i1v the chapel of the oratory at Paris, of which all but the bust has been destroyed, and the
mausoleum
  of Henri II., last duc de Montmorency, at Moulins. To Michel are due the sculptures of the triumphal arch at the Porte St Denis, begun in 1674, to serve as a memorial for the conquests of Louis XIV. A
marble
  group of the Nativity in the
church
  of Val de Grace was reckoned his masterpiece. From 1662 to 1667 he directed the progress of the sculpture and decoration in this
church
 , and it was he who superintended the decoration of the apartments of Anne of Austria in the old Louvre. F. Fouquet also employed him for his chateau in Vaux.

Stein
 , Les freres
Anguier
  (1889), with catalogue of works, and many references to
original
  sources; Armand Sanson, Deux sculpteurs R'ormands: les freres Angular (1889).
