COYSEVOX, Antoine
(b. 1640, Lyon, d. 1720, Paris)

Bust of the Grand Condé

1688
Bronze, height: 59 cm
Musée du Louvre, Paris

In conformity with the theories of expression expounded by Lebrun, Coysevox shows the hero in the fire of action and the full inspiration of his genius - a Baroque conception, of which Bernini had set the example in Paris with the bust commissioned from him by Louis XIV.
