Gossart, Jan

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Gossart, Jan

 or Jan Gossaert or Jan Mabuse

(born c. 1478, Maubeuge?, France—died Oct. 1, 1532, Antwerp?) Flemish painter. After a stay in Italy (1508–09), Gossart turned from the ornate style of the Antwerp school to the High Renaissance style. Neptune and Amphitrite (1516) reflects his attempt to assimilate the art of Classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. Despite his efforts to develop a fully Italianate style, his nudes seldom avoid the stiffness of his earlier figures, and ultimately he retained the jewel-like technique and careful observation of traditional Early Netherlandish art. He was among the first to introduce the Italian Renaissance style into the Low Countries.
