NOLE, Robert de
(b. ca. 1570, Utrecht, d. 1636, Antwerpen)

St Thomas

1631-37
Marble
Sint-Romboutskathedraal, Mechelen

The heroic style, the lively expressiveness and the dynamic plasticity of Rubens's monumental figures must at some moment have become a clear guideline for the De Nole studio in their production of large, free-standing sculptures. The contrapposto figures of the apostles in St Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen are characteristic.
