Corneille Van Clève (bapt. 10 June 1646 – 31 December 1735) was a French sculptor.
Clève was born in Paris in 1646 to a family of Flemish goldsmiths and baptized on 10 June that year. His grandfather, a merchant goldsmith, immigrated to Paris from Flanders and was naturalized by King Henry IV in 1606. [1] Cleve studied under French sculptor François Anguier and received the Prix de Rome scholarship in 1671. [2]
After spending several years there at the French Academy in Rome, as well as three years in Venice, Clève returned to France in 1678. [3] On 26 April 1681, he was formally accepted to the Académie de Peinture et de Sculpture upon submission of a marble statue of the cyclops Polyphemus. [4] Clève would be director of the Académie from 1711 to 1714. [5] Clève enjoyed the patronage of both King Louis XIV and Louis XV, earning the King's pension until his death and sculpting numerous statues for the Palace at Versailles. [1]
Clève married Marie-Antoinette De Meaux de Vallicre, half-sister of the famous goldsmith Nicolas de Launay , on 31 January 1682. She died in May 1683, just a few days after giving birth to their only son, Josse. He went on to become a sculptor, working in his father's workshop and earning several awards from the Académie, but would die on 4 June 1711. [1]
