Josse de Corte

Josse de Corte

Josse de Corte (1627-1679) was a Baroque sculptor, born in Ypres, but mainly active in Venice after 1657.

He is also known as "Giusto Cort" or "Josse Lecurt" or "Josse Cort". He obtained some training in Rome. His masterpiece is the theatrical high altar sculptural complex depicting the "Queen of Heaven expelling the Plague" for the church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. It depicts the Virgin Mary saving pleading figures and scattering the personified evil of the plague.

He also completed part of the "Morosini Monument" in S. Clemente all'Isola. Among his pupils in Venice were Francesco Cavrioli, Francesco Penso, and Orazio Marinali. Together they all contributed to the extensive sculptural decoration of the exterior of the church of the Salute.
