Equestrian statue of Charles I. Cast 1633, by Hubert Le Sueur, Trafalgar Square, London
Hubert Le Sueur (c. 1580[1] – 1658)[2] was a French sculptor with the contemporaneous reputation of having trained in Giambologna's Florentine workshop.[3] He assisted Giambologna's foreman, Pietro Tacca, in Paris, in finishing and erecting the equestrian statue of Henri IV on the Pont Neuf. He moved to England and spent the most productive decades of his working career there, providing monuments, portraits and replicas of classical antiquities for the court of Charles I, where his main rival was Francesco Fanelli.
