Early Netherlandish painters

Rogier Van der Weyden was a Flemish painter of the mid-15th century. Rogier was chiefly influenced by his first teacher, Robert Campin. Although details of his early training are sketchy, it is generally accepted that he entered the workshop of Robert Campin, the foremost painter in Tournai and dean of the painters' guild, in 1427 at the age of 27 (http://www.belgium.be).

The time during the Netherlandish Renaissance was when Dutch painter Dieric Bouts flourished. The Netherlandish Renaissance took place during the 15 and 16th centuries and it brought about the rapid growth of fine art painting.

Little is known about his early life and background. He joined the Renaissance, Flemish School movement. Until 1425, he worked as a painter and restoring pictures at the court of Duke Johann of Bavaria in Hague.

in Maaseik, Bishopric of Liege, the Renaissance period. He had a sister Margareta, and at least two brothers, Hubert (died 1426) and Lambert was active between 1431 and 1442 (Both of them were also painters). Yet the order of their births is not known. Another significant, and rather younger, painter who worked in Southern France, Barthélemy van Eyck, is presumed to be a relation. It is not known where Jan was educated, but he had knowledge of Latin and used the Greek and Hebrew alphabets in many

Campin, who lived from 1375-1444, and who is usually identified with the Master of Flemalle. He is also considered to be the first master of Flemish and early Netherlandish painting and established the typical form of the Netherlandish triptych. Campin settled into Tournai in the early 1400s as a free master of the guild of goldsmiths and painters. Eventually, Campin represented the guild on the city council.

The Renaissance (rebirth), was a time in which all art became more personalized and represented more than we see. There were two major stages in the Western European/ Italian Renaissance: Early Renaissance and High Renaissance. It gave patrons a new outlook on art and the world. Styles such as Mannerism, Fresco, and Parietal help advance art in western Europe.

Born 1390, Jan Van Eyck was a flemish painter who was one of the first to perfect the newly developed technique of oil painting. In 1425 Van Eyck entered the service of the influential Valois prince, Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy. Van Eyck also did paintings for other private clients as well as the court. Van Eyck was exceptionally well paid for a painter, his salary alone sets him apart from many early Netherlandish painters, since most of them depended on individual commissions to make their

This Netherlandish painter is named Hieronymus Bosch. Bosch was born in ’s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands in 1450. Bosch was known for being the most famous Netherlandish personality. Some of Bosch’s most famous paintings are “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (as shown in figure 1) and “The Crucifixion of St.
