He afterwards went to Rome and studied there several years. He was favored with the especial patronage of the counts of Hoorn and Egmont, and was received into the academy at Anltwerp in 1559. His most esteemed work is, The Last Judgment, painted for the Church of Notre Dame, at Brussels, and now in the Museum there; in the Museum at Antioch is his next best work, The Fall of Luciftr.
