Frans Floris de Vriendt was among the most celebrated Netherlandish artists of the sixteenth-century, more renowned in his day than Bruegel the Elder. This book relates Floris’s hybridizing art to the social, religious, and political crises reshaping his society.

Frans Floris de Vriendt radically transformed Netherlandish art. His monumental mythologies introduced a new appreciation for the heroic nude to the Low Countries and his religious art challenged standards of decorum. Born into a family of sculptors and architects, Floris refashioned his art through travel, first studying with the humanist painter Lambert Lombard in Liège and then continuing on to Italy. These experiences defined the hybridizing novelty of his art, forged by juxtaposing antique and modern, Italian and northern sources. This book maps Floris’s hybrid style onto shifting conceptions of cultural, religious, and political identity on the eve of the Dutch Revolt. It explores his collaborations and rivalries, engagement with artistic theory, hierarchical workshop, and revolutionary use of print.

Edward H. Wouk is Senior Lecturer in Art History and Visual Studies at The University of Manchester. His recent publications include Marcantonio Raimondi, Raphael and the Image Multiplied (Manchester, 2016) and the co-edited volume, with Suzanne Karr Schmidt, Prints in Translation (1450–1750): Image, Materiality, Space (Routledge, 2017).
