Jan Gossart (ca. 1478–1532) and His Circle

In a comparison with the greatest painter of antiquity, Jan Gossart (ca. 1478–1532) was repeatedly acknowledged as "nostrae aetatis Apellem" (the Apelles of our age). This praise first appeared in two separate texts of 1516 and 1529 by Philip of Burgundy 's court poet and humanist, Gerard Geldenhouwer. Lodovico Guicciardini (1567), Giorgio Vasari (1568), and Karel van Mander (1604) all described the themes of Gossart's art and credited him with being the first to bring from Italy to the North the art of depicting historie and poesie with nude figures. Though little remains of comments by contemporary artists concerning Gossart's reputation, he is said to have earned the praise of German master Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) ( 19.73.1 ), who saw Gossart's Middelburg Altarpiece (now lost) during his trip to the Netherlands in 1520 .First word is leading!
