About this person
Charles Claude Flahaut, Count of Angiviller, commissioned him to produce life-size sculptures of Jean de La Fontaine and Nicolas Poussin. Another commission from the Count of Angiviller saw Julien create the decorative scheme for a dairy at Rambouillet, designed for Marie-Antoinette. This included a sculpture of the Greek mythological figure Amalthea as well as friezes and medallions.
