Claude Lamoureux

Claude Lamoureux (c. 1650 – after 1699) was a French sculptor who worked in Sweden and in Copenhagen, Denmark.

[7] In 1681, Lamoureux as well as his siblings and their families (his brother's family and his sister's husband, the Swedish sculptor and stonemason Johann Gustav Stockenberg)[2] moved to Copenhagen in Denmark, where his brother Abraham-César was employed as court sculptor for Christian V of Denmark.

[3] Around 1685, Lamoureux married Anne Marie Pedersdatter Stephensen, a local woman, with whom he had four known children between 1686 and 1698.

[1][3] After his brother's death around April 1692 (Abraham-César was buried in Copenhagen's Trinitatis Church on 27 April 1692)[8] he completed his brother's work, adding four allegorical statues to the Pedestal of the Equestrian statue of Christian V in 1695.

[1][9][10] In 1699, Lamoureux left the service of the Danish court and was paid the expenses for leaving Denmark.
