FLORENCE, NICOLAS DE
FLORENCE, NICOLAS DE (Ital.), 1493, † 1499 (Vide NICCOLO FIORENTINO suprâ). This artist's name occurs also as Nicolas de Fleurance, Florentin or Le Florentin ; he seems to have settled at Lyons, circa 1493, where he married Guillierme (Guilliermine or Guillemine), daughter of Louis le P?re, and died between the 26th June and 17th September, 1499. Nicolas de Florence is apparently not the same person as Niccolo Fiorentino, who may also have worked at Lyons, circa 1492, and executed a number of Po...

FOLKEMA, JAN JAKOB
FOLKEMA, JAN JAKOB (Dutch). M. Pinchart attributed to Fol- kema a series of 31 medals of Louis XIV., which however are not his work. This artist probably never resided in Paris. The only medal M. Rouyer thought might possibly belong to him is one commemorating the Peace of Ryswick (Medallic Illustrations, II, 178), but Mr Dirks has recently proved that the signature J. Folkema, which appears in Van Loon's Plates is that of Jakob Folkema, copper-plate engraver and designer of a certain number of ...
