Which sculptor worked with Pierre Lescot on the Renaissance Louvre?

The sculptor who worked with Pierre Lescot on the Renaissance Louvre was Jean Goujon.

Goujon was one of the leading French sculptors of the Renaissance. His collaboration with Lescot helped give the new Louvre a unified architectural and sculptural character during the reigns of Francis I and Henry II. Lescot supplied the architectural design, while Goujon created much of the carved ornament and figurative decoration.

His best-known Louvre work includes the reliefs and sculptural details of the Lescot Wing, especially the caryatids supporting the musicians’ gallery in the Hall of the Caryatids. These monumental female figures draw on classical models, but Goujon adapted them into an elegant French Renaissance style rather than simply copying ancient sculpture.

The other choices belong to different periods. François Girardon and Antoine Coysevox were major sculptors of the reign of Louis XIV, while Germain Pilon was a near-contemporary Renaissance sculptor who worked on important royal monuments but is not the standard answer to this Louvre collaboration.

Goujon also worked with Lescot at the nearby church of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois, making their partnership broader than a single palace commission.
