Colomb or Colombe, Michel (both: mēshĕlˈ kôlôNˈ) [key],
c.1430–1512, French sculptor, one of the masters of the French
Renaissance. Few of his works survive. His name is associated
with the execution of the tomb of Francis II, duke of Brittany
(completed 1507; Nantes). A relief by Colomb, St. George and the
Dragon (Louvre), shows a high degree of imagination and skill.
