Art Trivia - Who was Francois Duquesnoy?

Did you know that Francois Duquesnoy was a Italo-Flemish sculptor usually called Il Fiammingo? He was born in Brussels but lived in Italy. His actual date of birth is unknown (about 1592-1594) and he died in 1643. Along with Alessandro Algardi, they represented a more conservative influence within the baroque movement. His two most famous works were the monumental statues of St. Susanna (at Sta. Maria di Loreto in Rome) and of St. Andrew (found in the crossing of St. Peter's).
