## Commentary

A new style of composition is displayed in the many retables produced by Marten de Vos for the renewal of the guild altars in Antwerp Cathedral. In the centre panels of the guild altars, such as that of the Longbowmen of 1590 \(shown in the present reproduction\) the Mannerist elements practically disappear and the clear and descriptive structure of the composition makes an almost classical impression.
