(b ?Amsterdam, fl c. 1587; d before Feb 1616). Netherlandish sculptor, active in Silesia and Bohemia. He was the son of Gerrit Hendricksz. (d 1585), a Netherlandish sculptor. Before 1587 he travelled in France, Italy and Germany, becoming a citizen of Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) in 1587. He is said to have been in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) in November 1589. His chief works were the chancel (1605; destr.) of the Schlosskirche in Oels (now Olesnica, Poland) and the elaborate marble funerary monument to the Austrian Feldmarschall Melchior von Redern on an altar in the Dekanatskirche in Friedland (modern Frydlant, Czech Republic). The monument, commissioned by von Redern’s widow, the Gräfin Schlick, was completed in 1610 but was severely damaged in the Thirty Years War. Its original appearance can be reconstructed from the sculptor’s description in a book that he published in the same year—Kurtze Beschreibung des herrlichen Monumenti und Begräbnuess (Breslau, 1610). The monument was made of green, white and red marble and originally had gilt-bronze ornamentation. The three colonnaded levels bore life-size statues of von Redern, the Gräfin Schlick and their son Christoph von Redern in the dress of their time, as well as reliefs depicting three of the Feldmarschall’s most famous military engagements.
