Renier de Huy was a goldsmith and bronze moulder in the early 12th century. His name relates to the city Huy-sur-Meuse. Today, little is known about his life and few of his works still exist, including the massive brass piece, the baptismal font from the church of Notre-Dame-aux-Fonts, which currently lies in the St Bartholomew’s Church in Liège. Renier de Huy’s antique style influenced the late gothic and the beginning of the Renaissance style.
