Quentin Massys was trained as an ironsmith. Near the front of the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp is a wrought-iron well, known as the "Matsys Well," which according to tradition was made by the painter-to-be.
'The Ugly Duchess' served as a basis for John Tenniel's depiction of the Duchess in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
