Biography

He studied with Lescot, in 1680 he was received at the Academy of New Discoveries of Medicine by Nicolas de Blégny, he was forced into exile and, around 1691, was a surgeon in Genoa where he succeeded Lescot. He was the first surgeon of the hospital and linked with Gaetano Zumbo for the presentation of anatomical waxes, after his estrangement with the latter, he collaborated with François De la Croix who was an ivory sculptor. [2]

Alfred Franklin notes in his Dictionary: "Desnoues having completed his work opened in the rue de Tournon, a museum made up of numerous wax pieces. One admired there above all a whole man, a girl about twelve years old, a woman nine month, "with the child still lying in the womb. Everything there is so just and natural that nothing is missing even in the smallest veins; the wax being sometimes red, sometimes white, blue, mixed, according to the various colors of the fleshy parts or veins of the human body [Nemeitz, Séjour de Paris , vol. I, p. 373]". Vigneul-Marville, who had seen all this, also praises it highly [ Mixtures of History and Literature, t. III, p. 307.]. The admission price, quite expensive for the time, was fifty cents." [1] [3]

In 1704 he went to Bologna, Florence in 1706 to Rome where he presented his anatomical preparations. He did the same in Paris in 1717, in 1719 in London and in 1720 passed through Amsterdam. [4]

The Pavillon du Roi was a tower-like structure built in the mid-16th century at the southern end of the Lescot Wing of the Louvre Palace. On its main floor was the primary apartment of the King of France. The pavilion served as a major emblem of the French monarchy for more than a century, and its design had seminal influence. From the 17th century, however, it gradually lost its visual and symbolic prominence. In the early 1640s, it was eclipsed by the slightly larger and more ornate Pavillon de l'Horloge; in the late 1660s, its main southern façade was hidden behind new structures; and in the early 19th century, its upper level was demolished and its interior arrangements were entirely remodeled.
