Abstract
RESUMEN: El escultor francés Robert Michel (1720-1786) fue uno de los mejores artistas afincados en Madrid. Llegado en 1740 es nombrado en 1752 académico de mérito y primer teniente director de la recién creada Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Considerado como uno de los mejores intérpretes del clasicismo dieciochesco, esculpió tres estatuas destinadas a la Iglesia de las Comendadoras de Santiago: San Francisco de Borja, San José con Niño (desaparecida durante la guerra civil) y Padre Eterno del que se realiza su atribución.
