François and Michel Anguier
François (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa]; c. 1604–1669) and Michel Anguier (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl ɑ̃ɡje]; 1612–1686) were two French brothers and sculptors.[1]
Lives
They were natives of Eu in Normandy, and served their apprenticeship in the studio of Simon Guillain. François Anguier died in 1669. Michel Anguier died in Paris on 11 July 1686.[1]
Works
The chief works of François were the monument to
Henri II, the last duke of Montmorency, at Moulins. Of the monument to Cardinal de Bérulle, all but the bust have been destroyed.[1]
Michel directed the decoration of the church of
Louis XIV, and he supervised the decoration of the apartments of Anne of Austria in the old Louvre. Nicolas Fouquet also employed him for his château, Vaux-le-Vicomte.[1]
