The series Iconography features prints after portraits by the Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck of around eighty of the most important men of his time. This print depicts the Flemish sculptor Andreas Colyns de Nole, a contemporary of van Dyck who worked primarily in Antwerp. In the portrait, Colyns de Nole wears a fine lace ruff and other fashionable garments, not the rough clothes of a working sculptor. However, his right hand rests on the head of the marble bust in front of him and almost seems to turn the face toward his gesturing left hand, visualizing his confident control over the sculpted form.
From the 2024 exhibition Living with Sculpture: Presence and Power in Europe, 1400–1750, curated by Elizabeth Rice Mattison, Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Academic Programming and Curator of European Art, and Ashley B. Offill, Curator of Collections
