1472 – 1533

Netherlandish painter and designer. He worked mainly in Amsterdam, where he was the leading designer of woodcuts, liberating the Dutch woodcut from the miniature tradition and giving it a new power and breadth. Comparatively few of his works have been preserved: among the woodcuts is a series illustrating the Passion (1512-17) and among the paintings are a Self-portrait (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1533) and an Adoration of the Shepherds (Museo de Capodimonte, Naples, 1512) which contains pudgy angels playing toy-like instruments, singing and decorating with garlands an improbable Renaissance manger.Show more
