QUELLINUS, Artus II
(b. 1625, Sint-Truiden, d. 1700, Antwerpen)

Biography

Member of a Flemish family of sculptors. He was the cousin and collaborator of Artus I Quellinus at the sculptural decoration of the Town Hall in Amsterdam. His independent work was more Baroque in style. The commanding figure of God the Father (1682) for the rod screen at Bruges Cathedral is perhaps his finest work.
