Hubert Gerhard

Sculpture

Hubert Gerhard was a Dutch sculptor. Like many of his contemporaries, he may have left the Netherlands to escape the religious conflicts and iconoclasm of the 1566–1567 era. He trained in Florence in the circle of Giambologna, who heavily influenced his style. Gerhard's dominant subject-matter, characteristic of many Northern Mannerist artists, was the mythological gods of antiquity.
