Thoody hopeless, Le Petit-Châtelet and Le Petit-Pont, 1717 , reconstruction of 1885.
The Petit-Pont is seen on the downstream side from the Neuf market quay. The brand of Large monarch was located at the northern end (left), upstream side.

On February 6, 1698 Antoine Dieu married in Paris Marie Lefebvre, widow – with two minor children – of Jean de la Porte († 1697), master painter and table merchant. She is the daughter of Toussaint Lefebvre, master painter and merchant in a gentle size, established on the Petit-Pont, next to the Petit Châtelet, and Léonarde de Vic, his wife. In 1683, Marie Lefebvre was established with her first husband near the Paternal House on the Petit-Pont in a house “Joining the Hôtel Dieu” , to the sign of Large monarch to which the couple had joined, in 1692, the adjoining shop, at the sign of Soleil d’or ^{[ 5 ]} .

From his marriage, Antoine Dieu took over the two shops of the Petit-Pont brought by his wife, the 7th and 8th on the upstream side, and now leads a double career as a painter and merchant until 1718, year during From which Antoine de la Porte (born in 1693), son of Marie Lefebvre’s first bed reached his majority. That same year, God sells the commodity fund and the house of Large monarch To the young Edme François Gersaint, 24 -year -old engraver ^{[ 6 ]} , rule and liquid the succession of Jean de la Porte and retire definitively from trade to devote himself to drawing and painting. Fifteen days after their installation, Gersaint and his wife lose their accommodation and their shop in the spectacular fire which ravages all the houses of the Petit-Pont in the night of April 27 to 28, 1718. Six months later, they settled on The Notre-Dame bridge while retaining the brand of Large monarch ^{[ 5 ]} .

Antoine Dieu remains in 1718 in the island of the Palais (of the city), parish of Sainte-Geneviève-du-Miracle-des-Arch, rue du Marché-Palu, in the extension of Petit-Pont.

It is received on 28 mars 1722 at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture with the reception piece Hercules Delivering Hesione ^{[ 7 ]} . He is appointed assistant to professors of the academy April 8, 1724 .

Virtuoso designer, Antoine Dieu produces colored and well -composed painted works, with many characters.
But its production is not yet well established, in the absence of a reasoned catalog of the artist.

All of his known works have 120 drawings and a dozen paintings.
