COXCIE, MICHAEL (1499-1592), Flemish painter, was born at Malines, and studied under Bernard van Orley. At Rome in 1532 he painted the chapel of Cardinal Enckenvoort in the church of Santa Maria dell' Anima. Coxcie's principal occupation was designing for engravers; and the fable of Psyche in 32 sheets by Agostino Veneziano and the Master of the Die are favourable specimens of his skill. His productions were long concealed under an interlaced monogram M.C.O.K.X.I.N. Coxcie returned in to Malines, where he matriculated, and painted for the chapel of the gild of St. Luke the wings of an altar-piece (centre by Mabuse) now in Sanct Veit of Prague. There are large and capital works of his (1587-88) in St. Rombaud, Malines, in Ste. Gudule, Brussels, and in the museums of Brussels and Antwerp. He died at Malines on March 5, 1592.
