See also:MICHAEL See also:COXCIE (1499–1592)
, Flemish painter, was See also:born at See also:Malines, and studied under See also:Bernard See also:van See also:Orley, who probably induced him to visit See also:Italy
.
At See also:Rome in 1532 he painted the See also:chapel of See also:Cardinal Enckenvoort in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church of See also:Santa Maria dell' Anima; and See also:Vasari, who knew him, says with truth " that he fairly acquired the manner of an See also:Italian." But See also:Coxcie's See also:principal occupation was designing for engravers; and the See also:fable of See also:Psyche in See also:thirty-two sheets by See also:Agostino Veneziano and the See also:Master of the See also:Die are favourable specimens of his skill
.
During a subsequent See also:residence in the See also:Netherlands Coxcie greatly extended his practice in this See also:branch of See also:art
.
But his productions were till lately concealed under an interlaced See also:monogram M.C.O.K.X.I.N
.
Coxcie returned in 1539 to Malines, where he matriculated, and painted for the chapel of the gild of St See also:Luke the wings of an See also:altar-piece now in Sanct See also:Veit of See also:Prague
.
The centre of this altar-piece, by See also:Mabuse, represents St Luke portraying the Virgin; the See also:side pieces contain the Martyrdom of St See also:Vitus and the See also:Vision of St See also:John in See also:Patmos
.
At van Orley's See also:death in 1541 Coxcie succeeded to the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:court painter to the See also:regent See also:Mary of See also:Hungary, for whom he decorated the See also:castle of Binche
.
He was subsequently patronized by See also:Charles V., who often coupled his See also:works with those of See also:Titian; by See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip II., who paid him royally fora copy of van See also:Eyck's " Agnus Dei "; and by the See also:duke of See also:Alva, who once protected him from the insults of See also:Spanish soldiery at Malines
.
There are large and See also:capital works of his (1587–1588) in St Rombaud of Malines, in Ste Gudule of See also:Brussels, and in the museums of Brussels and See also:Antwerp
.
His See also:style is Raphaelesque grafted on the Flemish, but his See also:imitation of See also:Raphael, whilst it distantly recalls Giulio Romano, is never See also:free from affectation and stiffness
.
He died at Malines on the 5th of See also:March 1592
