The date and place of the birth of Claude Lamoureux are unknown. He was the younger brother of the sculptor
Abraham-César Lamoureux, and he had a younger sister Magdalena, who was born in
Hamburg (
Germany) around 1660. He probably came to Sweden with his stepfather
Jean Baptiste Dieussart, who in 1664 entered service with count
Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, the
Lord High Chancellor of Sweden. Lamoureux, like his brother, was probably an apprentice or assistant of his stepfather. In 1681, Lamoureux as well as his siblings and their families (his brother's family and his sister's husband, the Swedish sculptor and stonemason
Johann Gustav Stockenberg) he completed his brother's work, adding four
allegorical statues to the
Pedestal of the
Equestrian statue of Christian V in 1695. In 1699, Lamoureux left the service of the Danish court and was paid the expenses for leaving Denmark. What became of him afterwards is unknown, as are the date and place of his death. ==Known works==
