Biography:
Netherlandish painter, Gerard David was born in Oudewater but was active mainly in Bruges, settling there in 1484. He was a member of the painter’s guild and was the city’s leading painter after Memlinc’s death in 1494. It is also thought that later in his career, he ran a studio in Antwerp and joined the painter’s guild there under the name Meester Gheraert van Brugghe. His work was very popular and widely copied by many, including his admirers Bensen and Ysenbrandt. He painted religious subjects almost exclusively, except for his depiction of a non-religious legend titled, The Judgement of Cambyses, done for the Bruges town hall.
