Brussels was at the time the administrative capital of the Low Countries where the court of Mary of Hungary was established. He operated a large workshop in Brussels. His financial success was such that by 1550 he owned two houses in Brussels. He became gradually sought after as a designer of cartoons for tapestries, first by the Habsburg rulers but later also by the local industry. This is not surprising because at that time Brussels was the world center for the production of tapestries, then an important economic factor in the entire Netherlands. He was given the title of cartoon painter of the city of Brussels for which he received an annual salary. Several of Coxcie's tapestry designs have been documented, but none have survived. Some cartoons and series of tapestries have been attributed to him, based on stylistic rather than archival grounds. He participated in the '

He also read classical literature and philosophy and was aware of the intellectual discussions on the reception of Antique art in Italy. The panel
