Fran%C3%A7ois Duquesnoy
Franois Duquesnoy or Frans Duquesnoy was a Flemish Baroque sculptor in Rome. His more idealized representations are often contrasted with the emotional character of Berninis works, while his style shows greater affinity to Algardis sculptures.
Duquesnoy was born in Brussels. Having come from Flanders, Duquesnoy was called Il Fiammingo by the Italians and Franois Flamand by the French. His father, Jerme Duquesnoy the Elder, sculptor of the Manneken Pis fountain in Brussels , was the court sculptor to Archduchess Isabella and Archduke Albert, governor of the Low Countries. Some of Francois early work in Brussels attracted the notice of the Archduke, who gave him the wherewithal to study in Rome, where he would spend his whole career.
