Massys
Quentin Massys
1466-1530
Quinten Massys was born in Louvain in 1466; he became the leading master of Antwerp, where he died in 1530. The artist combined his Netherlandish pictorial heritage with new decorative motifs and compositions from the Renaissance art of Northern Italy. A master of physiognomical exploration and of subtle, changeant coloring, Massys brought together aspects of the art of Hugo van der Goes and of Leonardo da Vinci. Unlike the 'Antwerp Mannerists', Massys preserved the monumental tradition of early Northern art, providing an important point of departure for Netherlandish painting of the later sixteenth century. The artist had a large number of studio assistants; many of his works were painted for export.
