ANGUIER, FRANCOIS (c. and MICHEL (1612-1686), French sculptors, were two brothers, natives of Eu in Normandy. The mausoleum of Henri II., last duc de Montmor ency, at Moulins, is the work of Francois. To Michel are due the sculptures of the triumphal arch at the Porte St. Denis, begun in 1674, to serve as a memorial for the conquests of Louis XIV. A marble group of the Nativity in the church of Val De Grace was reckoned his masterpiece. It was he who superintended the deco ration of the apartments of Anne of Austria in the old Louvre. F. Fouquet also employed him for his chateau in Vaux.
