"A native of Antwerp, Michiel van der Voort was registered with the local guild of Saint Luke in 1690, and set off for Rome shortly after that date. His sojourn there significantly influenced his artistic vocabulary, which visibly tempers the tendencies of the late Flemish Baroque style with the lessons of classical antiquity. Van der Voort's images of saints and allegorical figures all display . . . a characteristically delicate yet brisk quality of modelling."
