Denis (or Denys or Denijs) Calvaert (Dutch: [ˈkɑlvaːrt]; around 1540 – 16 April 1619) was an Antwerp-born Flemish painter who spent most of his life in Italy, where he was known as Dionisio Fiammingo[1] (Italian: [djoˈniːzjo fjamˈmiŋɡo]) or simply Il Fiammingo ("the Fleming"). Calvaert was a profound student of architecture, anatomy, and history. His works are characterized by their advanced composition and colouring.
Calvaert is well known for his drawings and small copper paintings.
Some of his best known works include his rendition of The Resurrection of Christ[2] and Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness.[3]
