La Mort St Innocent, 1530 - From the Cemetery of the Innocents in Paris.

History: The statue, placed in a wooden hut in the center of the cemetery of the Innocents in Paris, will be deposited in the church of Saint-Gervais in June 1786. The cemetery was razed to the end of 1780. The statue will be moved to Notre Dame in 1788, and complemented by bronzed Deseine Louis Pierre (1749-1822) and then placed in the chapel of Harcourt.
Entering the Revolution will be assigned to the Museum of French Monuments until 1816 and then remain at the School of Fine Arts after the closure of the museum.

On his shield, a quatrain recalls:
“He is alive, as is full of art,
Nor strength to strength,
I do hit my dart,
In order to yawn to their pittance. “
