Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque

L'Archevêque was a disciple of Edmé Bouchardon in Paris, and served as a royal fellow in 1744 to Rome's sculpture academy.

After five years of residence, he returned to Paris, where he received several assignments.

[1] For the county hall at the castle of Stockholm, he made at least four of the seven allegorical statues (righteousness, caution, faithfulness and religion).

He also created several portraits, including Jonas Alströmer, Olof von Dalin and Anders Plomgren, a grave monument over Gustaf von Seth in the Church of Byarum, and participated in the adornment of King Adolf Fredriks bisetting and funeral.

He was elected in 1768 as a foreign member number 62 of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
