Note 172 — LECTURE X. FRENCH ART IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

François Anguier had made a marble tomb of Cardinal de Bérulle, which was in the oratory of Rue St. Honoré. It would have been interesting to compare this statue with that of Sarazin, which is still at the Carmelites. François is also the author of the monument of the Longuevilles, which, before the Revolution, was at the Célestins, and was seen in 1815 at the museum des Petits-Augustins, Lenoir, ibid., p. 103; it is now in the Louvre. It is an obelisk, the four sides of which are covered with allegorical bas-reliefs. The pedestal, also ornamented with bas-reliefs, has four female figures in marble, representing the cardinal virtues.
