Adam, François-Gaspard (1710–61); Lambert-Sigisbert (1700–59); and Nicolas-Sébastien (1705–78). French sculptors from Nancy, brothers. All three spent several years in Rome after training with their father
Jacob-Sigisbert (1670–1747), and on their return adapted the Roman
Baroque style to French
Rococo taste. Lambert-Sigisbert was the most distinguished member of the family. His masterpiece is the Neptune Fountain (1735–40) at Versailles, a work showing the influence of
Bernini in its exuberant movement. Nicolas-Sébastien often collaborated with Lambert-Sigisbert, notably on the Neptune Fountain; his most important independent work is the monument of Queen Catharina Opalinska (1749) in the church of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours in Nancy. François-Gaspard was the least accomplished of the brothers; his best works are probably his garden statues for Frederick the Great of Prussia at Sanssouci, Potsdam. Better known than any of the three brothers is their nephew
Clodion.
