DUQUESNOY, Jérôme, the Elder
DUQUESNOY, Jérôme, the Elder – François Duquesnoy or Frans Duquesnoy was a Flemish Baroque sculptor who was active in Rome for most of his career, where he was known as Il Fiammingo. His idealized representations represented a quieter and more restrained version of Italian baroque sculpture, and are often contrasted with the more dramatic and emotional character of Bernini’s works, while his style shows a great affinity to Algardi’s sculptures.
