ABOUT THE ARTIST:
A pupil of his father and of Barent van Orley, Michiel Coxie I went with Van Orley to Rome, where they together directed the making of Vatican tapestries. He probably did not work with Raphael, as has been claimed, but he was influenced by him and painted pictures in the church dell'Anima commissioned by Cardinal van Enckevoort, whose portrait he also painted, and a Resurrection in the old basilica of St Peter's; in 1532 he painted Story of Psyche.
In 1539, on returning to Mechelen, Coxie became a member of the guild and in 1543 was made a citizen of Brussels. From 1542 to 1556 he drew the cartoons for the windows of St-Gudule, Brussels and from 1557 to 1559 he worked in Ghent, where he copied the paintings of Van Eyck. In 1582 he was in Antwerp and painted the wings of a picture by Quentin Massys and a Judgement of Solomon in the town hall; the entire town council fêted him like a prince. Philippe appointed him court painter; François I did all he could to attract him to Paris; he decorated the Château Binche for Charles V and Marie of Hungary (destroyed in 1552); he drew cartoons for tapestries of the Battle of Muhlberg; Charles V had from him four paintings of the life of Jesus, and Archduke Matthias the wings of the retable of St-Rombout, Mechelen.
Michiel Coxie I fell to his death from scaffolding while restoring his Judgement of Solomon in Antwerp town hall. He left a great fortune and a fine collection of pictures. Among his pupils were his sons Raphael and Willem Marcus Willems and several Mechelen painters.
