(1) François Anguier
(b Eu, 1604; d Paris, 8 Aug 1669). By 1621 he was apprenticed to a wood-carver, Martin Caron in Abbeville, and later he joined the Paris workshop of Simon Guillain. According to d’Argenville he went to England, where he was able to save enough to finance a stay of two years in Italy. Neither trip is documented, but his later work suggests an association with Alessandro Algardi, or at least the influence of the temperate style that Algardi and François Duquesnoy were practising as an alternative to the High Baroque of Bernini. By the late 1640s he was documented as a ‘sculpteur ordinaire du roi’ and was living in the Tuileries.
