See also:COLIN, See also:ALEXANDRE (1526-1612) , Flemish sculptor, was See also:born at See also:Malines. In 1563 he went, at the invitation of the See also:emperor See also:Ferdinand I., to See also:Innsbruck, to See also:work on the magnificent See also:monument which was being erected to See also:Maximilian I. in the See also:nave of the Franciscan See also:- CHURCH

church. Of the twenty-four See also:marble alti-rilievi, representing the emperor's See also:principal acts and victories, which adorn the sides of this See also:tomb, twenty were executed by Colin, apparently in three years. The work displays a remarkable See also:combination of liveliness and spirit with extreme care and finish, its delicacy rivalling that of a See also:fine See also:cameo. See also:Thorwaldsen is said to have pronounced it the finest work of its See also:kind. Colin, who was sculptor in See also:ordinary both to the emperor and to his son, the See also:archduke Ferdinand of See also:Tirol, did a See also:great See also:deal of work for his patrons at Innsbruck and in its neighbourhood; particular mention may be made of the sepulchres of the archduke and his first wife, Philippine See also:Welser, both in the same church as the Maximilian monument, and of See also:Bishop See also:Jean Nas. His tomb in the See also:cemetery at Innsbruck bears a fine bas-See also:relief executed by one of his sons.
