Henry II., but also that he had, been previously employed under Bullant on the .See also:chateau of Ecouen
.
Between 1547 and 1549 he was employed in the decoration of the Loggia ordered from Lescot for the entry of Henry II. into See also:Paris, which took place on the 16th of See also:June 1549
.
Lescot's edifice was reconstructed at the end of the 18th century by See also:Bernard See also:Poyet into the See also:Fontaine des Innocents, this being a considerable variation of the See also:original See also:design
.
At the Louvre, Goujon, under the direction of Lescot, executed the carvings of the See also:south-See also:west See also:angle of the See also:court, the
reliefs of the Escalier See also:Henri II., and the See also:Tribune des Cariatides, for which he received 737 livres on the 5th of See also:September 1550
.
Between 1548 and 1554 See also:rose the chateau d'See also:Anet, in the embellishment of which Goujon was associated with Philibert See also:Delorme in the service of See also:Diana of See also:Poitiers
.
Unfortunately the building accounts of Anet have disappeared, but Goujon executed a vast number of other See also:works of equal importance, destroyed or lost in the See also:great Revolution
.
In 1555 his name appears again in the Louvre accounts, and continues to do so every succeeding year up to 1562, when all trace of him is lost
.
In the course of this year an See also:attempt was made to turn out of the royal employment all those who were suspected of Huguenot tendencies
.
Goujon has always been claimed as a Reformer; it is consequently possible that he was one of the victims of this attack
.
We should therefore probably ascribe the work attributed to him in the Hotel Carnavalet (in situ), together with much else executed in various parts of Paris—but now dispersed or destroyed—to a See also:period intervening between the date of his dismissal from the Louvre and his See also:death, which is computed to have taken place between 1564 and 1568, probably at See also:Bologna
.
The researches of M
.
Tomaso Sandonnini,(see See also:Gazette des See also:Beaux Arts, 2e periode, vol. xxxi.) have finally disposed of the supposition, See also:long entertained, that Goujon died during the St See also:Bartholomew See also:massacre in 1572
