HÉRARD, GÉRARD LÉONARD (Belg.). Sculptor and Medallist, born at Li?ge in 1630; died at Paris on November 8, 1675. He was admitted a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture of Paris, on the 16th of October 1670, at the same time as his fellow-countryman, the painter Barthélemi Flémalle. Besides various statues, busts, marble medallions, some of which were executed by order of Louis XIV. for the Castle of Versailles, a sum of 1730 Livres was paid to the artist for silver jetons which he had made in 1672. Pinchart only knew of one medal engraved by Hérard ; it is dated 1 670, and bears a profile bust of Lambert de Livedo, Chancellor of Maximilian Henry, Prince-Bishop of Li?ge. This medal is in the style of Warm, with whom he worked. The Paris Medal Mint records give several other works by the artist : Bust of Leonardo da Vinci ; — Bust of Michael Angelo, 1673 ; — — Bust of Louis XV. ; — and several jetons of 1672, 1673 and 1675 executed for the city of Paris.
