ANGUIER, FRANÇOIS AND MICHEL. - French sculptors from Eu, pupils of S. Guillain. FRANÇOIS (1604-69) executed numerous funerary monuments, among them the notable ones of Henry de Montmorency in the chapel of the Lycée of Moulins (formerly the convent of the Visitandines), and of Jacques-Auguste de Thou, now in the Louvre. His brother MICHEL (1612-86) was in Rome and trained in the milieu dominated by Bernini and Algardi: the influence of the former is visible in the group of the Nativity, executed for the Parisian church of Val-de-Grâce (the original is now in the church of St. Roch). Part of the decoration of the Porte Saint-Denis in Paris is also due to Michel.
