Jean Del Cour

Jean Delcour, or Del Cour (1627, in Hamoir – 1707), was a Baroque sculptor from Liège, in present-day Belgium.

At the age of 15 he became a sculpture pupil in Liege of the monk Arnold Henrard.

He sculpted wood, marble, and ivory for the wealthy leaders of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.

An altar from his hand in Cararra marble is now in the Virga Jesse Basilica that was originally commissioned for Herkenrode Abbey by the abbess there, Anna Catharina de Lamboy.

He also made the mausoleum van Allamont in the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent.
