Artist:Jan Gossaert - Title: Christ at the Mount of Olives - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 32 inches x 23.5 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Jan Gossaert (c. 1478 - 1 October 1532) was a French-speaking painter from the Low Countrie. He was one of the first painters of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting to visit Italy and Rome, which he did in 1508-09, and a leader of the style known as Romanism, which brought elements of Italian Renaissance painting to the north, sometimes with a rather awkward effect. He achieved fame across at least northern Europe, and painted religious subjects, including large altarpieces, but also portraits and mythological subjects, including some nudity. He was a contemporary of Albrecht D?rer and the rather younger Lucas van Leyden, whom he knew, but he has tended to be less highly regarded in modern times than they were. Unlike them, he was not a printmaker, though his surviving drawings are very fine, and are preferred by some to his paintings.
