Pierre-François Berruer

In 1754 he won the second prize of the Prix de Rome after Charles-Antoine Bridan (1730–1808) with his Le Massacre des Innocents.

[1] In 1767 Berruer made a marble statue of Hebe holding a cup and vase for the Duc de Choiseul.

[2] In the Salon of 1771 Berruer exhibited a proposal for the tomb of Marshal the Comte de Harcourt in Nôtre-Dame, following the maudlin taste of the time.

"[3] Berruer designed a long relief panel for the facade of the École de Chirurgie in Paris, built in 1769–74.

It shows King Louis XV of France, followed by Minerva and surrounded by the sick, commanding that the school be built.
