Résumé : After a first training in his father's workshop, Jerome Du Quesnoy the Younger (1602-1654), Brussels sculptor, joins his brother, Francois Du Quesnoy, in Rome (1626-1627). He subsequently returns to Brussels where he becomes sculptor and architect at the court of Leopold Wilhelm (1651). Nothing is known about his activity between the end of the 1620s and 1641. Several sources mention a journey to Spain. Some of them state more precisely that the artist was called to Madrid by Philip IV (1605-1665). We are here presenting a series of hypotheses based on a network of relations between Rome, Madrid and Brussels linked to the monarchy.
