Artist
Flemish 16th Century

1500–1599
Flemish 16th Century was a Renaissance artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
Flemish artists of the 1500s cast bronze reliefs and small sculptures lively with myth and scripture. Their bronze Three Cupids shows chubby toddlers in playful motion, while the engraving Battle of the Horatii and the Curiatii freezes a Roman legend in sharp black lines. Look for Saint Matthew and the mini-bell crowded with Orpheus, poppies, saints, and dragons, each piece fits a palm and tells its story in miniature. To see more myth-swarmed bronze, tap Saint George Defeating the Dragon.
