Grinling Gibbons Style of Carving - a photo on Flickriver

Picture taken in a Brussels Museum
Probably carved by Peter Van Dievoet.
He was a Belgian sculptor and designer of ornamental architectural features. He was born in Brussels, baptised 29 June 1661 in the church of Sainte-Gudule, died 2 March 1729 in Brussels.

King James II when he was residing in Brussels had observed the talent of the young sculptor Peter Van Dievoet, and when he return in England he asked him to come with him. Van Dievoet arrived in London with the King, in the same ship.

In London he was a regular visitor to the studio of Grinling Gibbons. In 1686, he cast and made the statue of James II for St. James's Park in London. He returned to Brussels after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
