Biography:
Nobleman / scholar / humanist / collector (experts in numismatics)
The brothers Marc and Guido Laurin combined an interest in nature with a passion for ancient history and were famous at the time for their collection of antique coins.
He owned with his brother (and lived there from 1557) townhouse Watervliet in Bruges and a country house with gardens (originally named Blauhuys, but later changed into Laurocorinth) just outside the town. They established the first private printing press in these regions and acted as patron to the artist, numismatic expert and printer Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583, uncle of the artist Hendrik Goltzius), whom they appointed as head of their private printing press at their country house. They can be considered as core figures in the circles of Bruges humanists. Laurocorinth was demolished in 1578, when the countryside around Bruges was plundered.
In 1579 a brief civil war broke out in Bruges: the Protestants won and in 1580 prominent Catholics, among them Marc Laurin, had to flee the city. He took part of his collection with him, but was robbed on his way to Calais and lost everything. Marc did not survive this loss: he died in March 1581 in Calais and is buried there.
He was a personal friend of Clusius. He also was a close friend of Saint Omer, and like him patron of artists and scientists.
