From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vandive family (/vɒ̃dɪv/; or Van Dievoet called Vandive; in French: Van Dievoet dit Vandive) was a Parisian branch of the Van Dievoet family from Brussels, descended from goldsmith Philippe Van Dievoet, the elder brother of famous Brussels sculptor Peter Van Dievoet. The family were first bourgeois of Paris before becoming part of the French nobility.
