About this person
In November, 1701, he was made a full member of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture upon the display of a royal commission of 1700, his small bronze of the Rape of Helen, a svelte composition of three figures with a debt to Giambologna's Rape of a Sabine Woman. He was known for sculpting flowing, graceful, and even flying figures, particularly in his bronzes.
