See also:PUGET, See also:PIERRE (1622-1694) , See also:French painter, sculptor, architect and engineer, was See also:born at See also:Marseilles on the 31st of 'See also:October 1622. At the See also:age of fourteen he carved the ornaments of the galleys built in the See also:port of his native See also:city, and at sixteen the decoration and construction of a See also:ship were entrusted to him. Soon after he went to See also:Italy on See also:foot, and was well received at See also:Rome by Pietro di See also:Cortona, who employed him on the ceilings of the See also:Barberini See also:Palace and on those of the Pitti at See also:Florence. In 1643 he returned to Marseilles, where he painted portraits and carved the See also:colossal figure-heads of men-of-See also:war. After a second See also:journey to Italy in 1646 he painted also a See also:great number of pictures for See also:Aix, See also:Toulon, Cuers and La Ciotat, and sculptured a large See also:marble See also:group of the Virgin and See also:Child for the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church of Lorgues. His See also:caryatides for the See also:balcony of the Hotel de Ville of Toulon were executed between 1655 and 1657. N. See also:Fouquet employed Puget to See also:sculpture a See also:Hercules for his See also:chateau in See also:Vaux. The artist's See also:desire to paint gradually subsided before his See also:passion for sculpture, and a serious illness in 1665 brought Puget a See also:prohibition from the doctors which caused him wholly to put aside the See also:brush. The fall of Fouquet in 166o found Puget at See also:Genoa. Here he executed for Sublet See also:des Noyers his French Hercules (Louvre), the statues of St See also:Sebastian and of See also:Alexandre Sauli in the church of See also:Carignano (c. 1664), and much other See also:work. The See also:Doria See also:family gave him a church to build; the See also:senate proposed that he should paint their See also:council chamber. But See also:Colbert bade Puget return to See also:France, and in 1669 he again took up his old work in'the See also:dockyards of Toulon. The See also:arsenal which he had there undertaken to construct under the orders of the See also:duke of See also:Beaufort was destroyed by See also:fire, and Puget, disheartened, took leave of Toulon. In 1685 he wentback to Marseilles, where he continued the See also:long See also:series of See also:works of sculpture on which he had been employed by Colbert. His statue of See also:Milo (Louvre) had been completed in 1682, See also:Perseus and See also:Andromeda (Louvre) in 1684; and See also:Alexander and See also:Diogenes (bas-See also:relief, Louvre) in 1685, but, in spite of the See also:personal favour which he enjoyed, Puget, on coming to See also:Paris in 1688 to push forward the See also:execution of an equestrian statue of See also:- LOUIS

Louis XIV., found See also:court intrigues too much for him. He was forced to abandon his project and retire to Marseilles, where he remained till his See also:death on the 2nd of See also:December 1694. His last work, a bas-relief of the See also:Plague of See also:Milan, which remained unfinished, was placed in the council chamber of the See also:town See also:- HALL

In spite of Puget's visits to Paris and Rome his work never lost its See also:local See also:character: his Hercules is fresh from the galleys of Toulon; his See also:saints and virgins are men and See also:women who speak Provencal. His best work, the St Sebastian at Genoa, though a little heavy in parts, shows admirable See also:energy and See also:life, as well as great skill in contrasting the decorative accessories with the See also:simple See also:surface of the nude. There is in the museum of Aix in See also:Provence the bust of a long-haired See also:young See also:man in pseudo-classical See also:costume which is believed to be a portrait of Louis XIV. made by Puget at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.
