Van Beveren was a versatile artist in terms of the subject range of his sculptures as well as the materials in which he worked. He executed monumental works in marble, stone and wood as well as small-scale works in wood, ivory and terracota. He further was a medalist and produced designs for dies for the Antwerp Mint. He executed the main altar in the St Nicholas Church in Ghent. He collaborated with some of the leading Flemish sculptors in the execution of large religious sculptures. He assisted
Lucas Faydherbe with the painted wood and stone high altar in the
St Rumbold's Cathedral in
Mechelen. His designs were used by his large workshop and other contemporary artists in the creation of numerous sculptures. The Brussels sculptor
Jan Cosijn, for instance, sculpted the marble statues for the funerary chapel of Duke Lamoral of Thurn and Taxis after a design by van Beveren. Matheus van Beveren was known for his small-scale works, and in particular his ivory sculptures. He and his workshop often used paintings by Rubens as models for numerous ivory crucifixes. He also made medals, as shown by the terracotta model for a medallion with the portrait of
Anthony van Dyck. He further made die designs for the Antwerp Mint. ==Selected works==
