Global InformationGillis van den Vliete information
Gillis van den Vliete known in Italy as Egìdio della Riviera[1][2] (Mechelen, c. 1535 - buried on 4 September 1602 in Rome)[3] was a Flemish sculptor, restorer of ancient sculptures and antique dealer. His active career was spent in Italy, mostly in Rome. He produced both religious and secular sculpture including garden ornaments and tomb monuments. On some large projects he collaborated with other sculptors such as Nicolaes Mostaert, a Flemish sculptor active in Italy at the same time. His works are executed in the Northern Renaissance style which he had been trained in, in his native Flanders, but also intimate the advent of Baroque sculpture.[2][4]
