Domenico del Barbiere

He joined the studio of Italian artists who worked with Primaticcio and Rosso Fiorentino at Fontainebleau and Meudon.

His style of sculpture was influenced, particularly in the heads and the drapery, by Andrea Sansovino, and shows Mannerist characteristics.

His Charity, at Saint-Pantaléon in Troyes, suggests that Domenico was aware of Michelangelo's use of contrapposto.

His relief work for the tomb of Claude, Duke of Guise (died 1550), reveals the possible influence of Rosso and of Francesco Salviati.

Under the direction of Primaticcio, Domenico executed the base for the monument for the heart of Henry II of France, the figures for which were sculpted by Germain Pilon.
