Hendrick van den Broeck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hendrick van den Broeck (1519-1597) was an Flemish painter of the late-Renaissance or Mannerist period, active mainly in Rome. He is also known as Arrigo Fiammingo (not to be confused with the Flemish painter in Bologna, Enrico Fiammingo). He worked with Giorgio Vasari in the decoration of the Sala Regia of the Vatican. He worked under Cesare Nebbia to help decorate the Capella Sistina of Santa Maria Maggiore, as well as the better known Sistine Chapel in the Vatican complex, where he painted a "Resurrection of Christ" on the counterfacade of the entrance, where previously there had been Domenico Ghirlandaio painting. In 1565 he also worked in the Capella dei Priori in the Palazzo dei Priori in Perugia, where he painted a crucifixion and restored the frescoes of Benedetto Bonfigli.
