SLODTZ, RENE MICHEL or MICHEL ANGE (17051764), French sculptor, was born at Paris. He passed seventeen years at Rome, where he was chosen to execute a statue of St Bruno, one of the best modern works of the class in St Peter's. He was also the sculptor of the tomb of Marquis Capponi in St John of the Florentines. Other works of his are to be seen at the church of St Louis of France and at Santa Maria della Scala. After his return to France in 1747, Slodtz, in conjunction with his
brothers
 ,
Antoine
  Sebastien and Paul, produced many decorative works in the churches of Paris, and, though much has been destroyed, his most considerable achievementthe tomb of Languet de Gergy in St Sulpice (commissioned in 1750)still exists. Slodtz was, like his
brothers
 , a member of the
Academy
  of Painting and Sculpture, and many particulars of his life are preserved in a memoir written by Cochin, and also in a
letter
  from the same to the
Gazette
  litteraire, which was reproduced by Castilhon in the Necrologe of 1766.
Slodtz's father, Sebastien (16J51726), was also a sculptor, born at Antwerp; he became a pupil of Girardon and worked mostly under him at
Versailles
  and the Tuileries. His
chief
  works were " Hannibal " in the Tuileries
garden
 , a statue of St
Ambrose
  in the Palais des Invalides, and a bas-relief " Saint Louis sending missionaries to India."
See C. N. Cochin, Mem. fined. (Paris, 1881); Barbet de Jouy, Sculpture moderne du Louvre (Paris, 1856) ; Duissieux, Artistes francais a l'etranger (Paris, 1852).
