The Reformation led to change. The church was now Icelandic, but subject to secular authorities in Denmark. Likenesses of saints disappeared from their plinths and altars, to be replaced by the instruments of Lutheran worship. In the 16th century Icelandic craftsmen are first identified by name. The chair of Þórunn from Grund, from the first half of the century, is the oldest artefact bearing the name of its maker: Benedikt Narfason. After the Reformation many more artists are known by name: Brynjólfur of Skarð who made whalebone carvings around 1600, and the Rev. Gísli Guðbrandsson and Jón Greipsson, who were making interesting carvings in the early 17th century. Lesa meira
