The Duquesnoy were a family of sculptors in Brussels. Jérôme the Elder (ca. 1570-1641 or 1642) introduced early baroque sculpture to Brussels. Much of his work included reconstructing and refurbishing church statues damaged and destroyed by 16th-century iconoclasts. He is known for crafting the Manneken-Pis in 1619. His sons both studied under him. François (1594 or 1597-1642), born in Brussels, worked and died in Italy. Jérôme the Younger (1602-1654) studied in Italy and returned to Brussels in 1643. His work included the statues of Saints Thomas and Paul in the Cathédrale des Saints-Michel-et-Gudule.
