Abstract
Iohannes Malbodius Pingebat: The Poetry of Jan Gossaert's
Painting
By Katherine A. Sharrard
Jan Gossaert's travels to Rome with his patron, Philip of Burgundy,
perhaps did
not seem monumental from the start. His career in court painting
continued after his
return to the Netherlands, and the shared antique interest of
artist and patron resulted in
the development of a new style of poesia, in which the
artist is prized for his ability to
create the kinds of subjects related to epic and lyric poetry. The
artist does not create a
scene from a prior poem; he devises a new pictorial poem.
Gossaert's paintings would be
different from the Italian court paintings; although they were
often similar in subject they
were executed differently, with heightened attention to the nude
figure, which resulted in
an increased sense of tangibility. In focusing on Gossaert's
Neptune and Amphitrite,
Danae, and St. Luke Drawing the Virgin, I aim to
clarify what exactly Gossaert's
innovation was. The description of "the Apelles of our time," has
proven to be very apt
in this instance, as Gossaert proved himself not only a master of
the technical but the
poetic side of painting.
