Jan Cosijn

He produced statuary for churches as well as architectural designs and decorative elements for the reconstruction of the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (main square) in Brussels.

It bears his initials "IC" and an inscription that has become illegible, surrounded by the symbols of his craft: hammer, chisel, trowel, shop hook and plumb line.

[3] His religious statuary includes the statue of Bartholomew the Apostle which is located on the original site at the Chapel Church in Brussels.

The prominent sculptor and architect from Mechelen Lucas Faydherbe obtained in 1651 a commission to create a monument in the funerary chapel of Duke Lamoral of Thorn and Taxis (in the Church of Our Blessed Lady of the Sablon in Brussels).

Other sculptor-architects of his time included Willem de Bruyn in Brussels, Lucas Faydherbe in Mechelen, and Jan Pieter van Baurscheit the Elder in Antwerp.

[10] He made the facade sculptures and was possibly the project manager for Le Roy d'Espagne/Den Coninck van Spaignien on the Grand-Place.
