Jean-François BEECKAERT or Bekerr
He was appointed maitre-horloger in 1746. He worked in Paris on rue du Petit Bourbon and later on rue de Bucy. Many of his works are now housed in the world's most important museums, from the Uffizi in Florence, to the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, to the Frick Collection in New York. Within the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is a portrait (shown below) of Marie Louise of Parma who later became queen of Spain, by the author Laurent Pécheux, where an elephant pendulum by Jean-François Beeckaert is placed beside the lady; the pendulum is now in the Uffizi Museum in Florence.
