Hodart, Filipe [Philippe]
(b France, c. 1490; d ?after 1536). French sculptor active in Spain and Portugal. He was an important figure of the Iberian Renaissance, though his work knew neither precedent nor followers. Details of his education are not known, but he must have had a knowledge of early 16th-century Italian sculpture and, more specifically, of sculpture made in Rome. The few known documents referring to him are dated between 1522 and 1535. One of these, a contract signed in Coimbra, states his French origin. Between 1522 and 1523 he worked on the choir-stalls at Santo Domingo de la Calzada Cathedral, near Burgos. This work had been commissioned in 1521 from Andrés de Nájera, whom Guillén de Holanda sometimes replaced as head of a team of wood-carvers and sculptors that included Hodart, Lucas de Burgos, Francisco de San Gil and Juan de Castro el Borgoñón.
