Huibrecht, Hubrecht, Hubertus or Hubert van den Eynde (11 October 1593 – 18 September 1662) was a Flemish sculptor. He is mainly known for his religious sculptures and church furniture although he also worked on some secular projects.[1][2] He was the first prominent sculptor of the van den Eynde family of artists and merchants.[2] In the early 17th century, van den Eynde was one of the leading Flemish sculptors who rejected contrived Mannerist formulae in favour of greater realism.[3] His work shows a development from the early Baroque to the high Baroque. His late style is characterized by a penchant for movement and dashing draperies.[4]

Among his works are his contributions to the monumental Waterpoort (in Antwerp),[1][2][5] a high altar in black and white marble and alabaster in the Church of Our Lady of Dendermonde;[6][7][8] and the Rubenesque marble statues of Gideon and Joshua in the Antwerp Cathedral.[9][10]
