Short answers, pulled from the story.
Pierre Bontemps lived between approximately 1505 and 1568 as a French sculptor known for his funeral monuments. Very little documentation exists regarding his specific birthplace or family background.
The Basilica of Saint-Denis houses statues created by Pierre Bontemps for King Francis I of France including representations of Queen Claude, the Dauphin, Louis XII, and Anne of Brittany on Louis' tomb.
Marble figures from the tomb of Charles de Maigny now reside in the Musée du Louvre after being removed from their original location centuries ago. Their provenance remained unclear until modern scholars traced them back to Pierre Bontemps workshop.
Modern research later proved that the monument actually commemorated Jean III d'Humières who passed away in 1553 instead of Louis duc d'Humières who died between 1628 and 1694. The Louvre now houses this corrected attribution alongside other works by the master sculptor.
