The tradition
Sculpture in Brussels has been created from the Middle Ages to the present day. The city has been an uninterrupted centre of autonomous training in the art of sculpture and has produced a long continuity of sculptors who were born and trained in Brussels or who came there to train. This style or school is sometimes referred to as the Brussels school of sculpture (French: École de sculpture bruxelloise; Dutch: Brusselse beeldhouwschool). Brussels' sculpture began to shine in the second half of the 14th century with Claus Sluter's arrival in the city and the construction of the Town Hall. It continued without interruption and reached its momentum during 15th and 16th centuries. Until the end of the Ancien Régime, sculptors in Brussels were members of the Quatre Couronnés Guild of the Nation of St Nicholas and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.¶
