About
Why this artist matters now
Francis van Bossuit was a Flemish sculptor. He mainly carved sculptures in ivory. Only a few sculptures in wood and terracotta by his hand are known. His work shows a penchant for classicism which was probably derived from his exposure to ancient and contemporary Italian art during his stay in Rome as well as his knowledge of the Baroque classicism of the sculptors active in Versailles. The exuberance of some of his works also reflects his training in Flemish Baroque sculpture.
