Michiel van Coxcien (1499 — 1592), who, as we have seen, superintended at Arras the manufacture of the tapestries from Raphael's designs. Lambert Lombard (1506 — 1566), a native of Liege, who introduced this Italian-Flemish style into his native city, and thus materially aided in the decline of art in the Low Countries. Frans Floris (died 1570), a pupil of Lombard, who from a sculptor became a painter, and is famous for having formed in Antwerp a school which was numerously attended. Pieter Brueghel (ab. 1520 — 1569), commonly called from the subjects of his paintings " Peasant Brueghel," and his son Pieter, or " Hell," Brueghel (1564 — 1637), were amongst the best painters of their time in Antwerp. At this period, a foremost place amongst portrait-painters was held by Sir Antonis Mor (1512—1576-78), a Dutch- man by birth, but a Fleming in art. He visited Italy, but on his return was influenced by the works of Holbein. He was court painter to Queen Mary of England, and was also patronized by Philip II. of Spain; and many good works by him are still preserved in the Museum at Madrid. Of the portrait painters who imitated Matsys's pecu- liarly pronounced realistic manner, we must name Marc Garrard (1561 — 1635), a native of Antwerp, who was one of the principal portrait painters at the court of Queen Elizabeth; Paul van Somer (1576 — 1621), whose best years were spent in this country. His finest works are in England, e. g. a portrait of Lord Verulam at Panshanger,
