| biography:
| Painter, who became a member of the painters' guild in Antwerp in 1460, and in 1464 was a master in Ghent. During the mid-1470s he is recorded as being at the court of Federigo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, where he painted his only surviving documented work, The Institution of the Eucharist (1472–4). He is also thought to have painted a series of 28 Famous Men for the Ducal Palace (c.1476). His work was an important source of knowledge of the Netherlandish oil technique for contemporary Italian painters. |
