Willem van den Broeck
Willem van den Broeck (* 1530 in Mechelen ; † 1580 Antwerp ), known as Guillelmus Paludanus , was a Flemish sculptor of the Renaissance.
Life
Willem van den Broeck was the brother of the painters Crispin van den Broeck and Hendrick van den Broeck . He is in 1557 as a free master of the Guild of St. Luke demonstrated in Antwerp and has 1,559 citizens. In 1566/67 he received payments for three statues that were placed under the crucifix in the Cathedral of Our Lady . In 1571/73 he worked for the monastery of San Leonardo in Alva . The pedestal of the statue of Duke Albas erected in the citadel of Antwerp in 1571 came from him. This monument was destroyed in 1577.
Alabaster reliefs have been preserved from him in northern Germany : five reliefs with "Alabaster histories" in the chapel of Schwerin Castle , the "Elevation of the Bronze Snake" signed by him is considered a rare treasure for Schwerin . The alabaster was personally selected by Duke Johann Albrecht I in 1562 in a quarry near Uslar in Solling, which was then newly opened . In Lübeck Cathedral you can also find his alabaster reliefs such as the "Ascension of Christ" on the pulpit of the Dutch stonemason Hans Fleminck from 1568.
Other alabaster reliefs by him: a Calvary in the Louvre and a Garden of Eden in Brussels.
