Chanterene, Nicolau
(b France, c. 1485; d Évora, c. 1555). French sculptor, active in Spain and Portugal. He brought the art of the Renaissance to Portugal, carving in stone works of great quality at Lisbon, Coimbra and Évora. His career bears witness to the changing status of the arts in Portugal and Spain in the early 16th century: he was an artist of a new mould, associating with scholars rather than with the guilds of his craft.
