Settling in Paris around 1628, it takes part, under the direction of Simon Guillain with the retable of the church of the Carmelite nuns close to the Jardin of Luxembourg. It leaves then for England. With his/her younger brother, Michel Anguier, itself sculptor, it joined Rome in 1641 and attends the workshop of the Algarde and François Duquesnoy. Of return in France since 1643, it joined his brother with Moulins where it works then with the tomb of the last of the dukes of Montmorency, Henri II.
