Robert Le Lorrain

Robert Le Lorrain (1666–1743) was a French baroque sculptor who was born in Paris.

He was born into a family of bureaucrats, the son of Claude Le Lorrain, a business agent of Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV's Minister of Finance.

Le Lorrain was a student of the French sculptor, painter, and architect, Pierre Paul Puget (1620–1694).

His best-known work is the stone relief, The Horses of the Sun, over the stable doors at the Hôtel de Rohan, Paris; sculptures executed in 1718-21 for the Cardinal de Rohan at the Château de Saverne were lost in the fire in the château in 1779,[1] but sculptures for the palais Rohan, Strasbourg, survive.

Though Le Lorrain's works for Marly have been dispersed or lost, as have church monuments in Paris and Orléans, sculpture in the chapel at Versailles survives.
