Pierre Bontemps

Pierre Bontemps was a French sculptor known for his funeral monuments; he was, with Germain Pilon, one of the pre-eminent sculptors of the French Renaissance.
He executed most of the bas-reliefs on the tomb of King Francis I of France, representing the French victories at the battle of Marignano and the battle of Ceresole.
His also are the statues of the king, Queen Claude, the Dauphin, and Louis [XII of France|Louis XII] and Anne of Brittany on Louis' tomb in the Basilica of Saint-Denis. The figures from the tomb of Charles de Maigny now reside in the Musée du Louvre.
In 1936, a sale of contents from the chateau of Monchy-Humières included a full-length marble tomb which had been used as a garden ornament. Originally thought to be of Louis, duc d'Humières, it was in fact Jean III d'Humières, executed by Bontemps. This is also in the Louvre.
