Details

Flemish stuccoist, active in the Southern Netherlands, Holland and Germany. His workshop developed an important turnover in various places in the Southern Netherlands and in the Rhineland. With a great feeling for detail and local colour both allegorical and mythological groups and biblical scenes were made for sacristies and monastery libraries: Sint-Carolus-Borromeuskerk, Antwerp (c. 1651); Premonstratensian Abbey, Park-Heverlee (1672-79); as well as for interiors in large country houses: Horst (1655); Beaulieu (1659); Modave (1666). All these stucco decorations are conspicuous for the same preference for lively pictorial contrasts of light and shade, which are also typical of monumental sculpture in marble and stone. //
