Benoît Van Uytvanck
Benoît Van Uytvanck (25 June 1857 – 6 November 1927) was a Belgian sculptor.[1][2]
Life and work[edit]
Van Uytvanck was born on 25 June 1857 in Hamme, East Flanders, Belgium.[2]
He was a pupil of Jean-Baptiste Bethune.[2][3] He became a sculptor chiefly of religious subjects. Van Uytvanck also worked as a restorer of sculptures. As such he was most active in the churches in Leuven and Mechelen.[2][4] His work was often discussed in the Bulletin des Métiers d'Art. His style has been described as a "sober and less dogmatic interpretation of the Gothic Revival".[3] In 1903 he completed an ornate tabernacle (Sacramentstoren) in white stone, as well statues of Mary and Saint John and an altarpiece of Saint Anne in polychrome wood for the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-over-de-Dijlekerk of Mechelen.[5] In 1909 he completed a Neo-Gothic altarpiece of The Seven Sorrows of Our Lady for the same church.[5]
He had an atelier in Leuven,[6] dealing mainly with church furnishings.[7]
