It served as a basis for [[John Tenniel]]'s depiction of the Duchess in ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]''. It is likely a depiction of a real person with [[Paget's disease of bone|Paget's disease]],<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2008/oct/11/art-painting | location=London | work=The Guardian | title=Solved: mystery of The Ugly Duchess – and the Da Vinci connection | first=Mark | last=Brown | date=2008-10-11}}</ref> though it is sometimes said to be a metaphorical portrait of the [[Margaret, Countess of Tyrol]], who was known as ''Maultasch'', which, though literally translated "satchel mouth", was used to mean "ugly woman" or "whore" (because of her marital scandals). His two large triptych altarpieces ''The Holy Kinship'' or ''Saint Anne Altarpiece'' (1507–1509) and ''The Entombment of the Lord'' (1508–1511) are also highly celebrated. Commissioned for the Church of Saint Peter in Leuven, they reflect strong religious feeling and precise detailing characteristic to the majority of his works.

[[File:1520 Portrait of a woman (Q. Massys).jpg|thumb|left|''Portrait of a woman'', 1520]]Matsys also painted part of the altarpiece of the [[Igreja da Madre de Deus (São João)|Convento da Madre de Deus]], in [[Lisbon]]. The altar is a primitive invocation of the ''Seven Sorrows of Mary'', with boards still evocative of ''"Our Lady of Sorrows"'',''"Jesus among the Doctors"'', ''"on the path to Calvary"'', ''"Calvary"'', ''"Lamentation"'' (all at the [[Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga]]) and ''"Flight into Egypt"'' ([[Worcester Art Museum]]). Since the convent was founded by D. Leonor, Queen Dowager of King John II of Portugal and sister of King Manuel of Portugal, in 1509, it appeared that the order of this set has been performed once, with some authors (''Firedlander'') pointing as the date of making the frames years prior to 1511.<ref>http://www.matriznet.imc-ip.pt/MatrizNet/Objectos/ObjectosConsultar.aspx?IdReg=250991&EntSep=3&Lang=EN#gotoPosition{{dead link|date=July 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> His ''Christ as the Man of Sorrows'' is in the [[J.

Quentin's son, [[Jan Matsys]], inherited the art but did not seek to expand upon his father's legacy. The earliest of his works, a ''St Jerome'' dated 1537, in the gallery of Vienna, as well as the latest, a ''Healing of Tobias'' of 1564, in the museum of Antwerp, are evidence of his tendency to substitute imitation for originality.<ref name="EB1911"/> Another son, [[Cornelis Matsys]], was also a painter. Jan's son, [[Quentin Metsys the Younger]], was an [[artist of the Tudor court]], and painted the ''Sieve Portrait'' of [[Elizabeth I of England]].

Near the front of the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp is a wrought-iron well, known as the "Matsys Well", which according to tradition was made by the painter-to-be.

Matsys was a cult figure during the 17th century in Antwerp {{clarify|date=January 2019}} in addition to being one of the founders of the local school of painting (which climaxed with the career of [[Peter Paul Rubens]]).

A penny serial by the British author [[Pierce Egan the Younger]] entitled ''Quintin Matsys'' was published in 1839.
