Lucas Faydherbe

Lucas Faydherbe (Lucas Faijdherbe) (1617-1697) was born in Mechelen in Flanders, and studied with Pieter Paul Rubens in Antwerp. He worked as a sculptor and architect. Based in Mechelen after Rubens's death, he also worked in Brussels and Antwerp. He was the nephew of the Flemish Baroque painter Lucas Franchoys the Younger. His works include:

* Our Lady of Hanswijck church in Mechelen, an intriguing blend of the circular, centrally planned church with a longitudinal nave;

* the high altar of St. Rumbolds Cathedral in Mechelen;
* the funeral monument of archbishop Andreas Cruesen in the St. Rumbolds Cathedral in Mechelen;

* the Thurn und Taxis chapel in the Church of Notred Dame du Sablon / Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van de Zavel, Brussels;
