a Flemish painter born at Antwerp, who lived in Italy for most of his life. Calvaert was a profound student of architecture, anatomy, and history, his works are characterized by their advanced composition and colouring. Calvaert typically used chiaroscuro techniques to set stylized foreground figures derived from Correggio against northern European landscapes. His use of colour also reflects the influence of Barocci.
