| Juan
De Flandes (b. ca. 1465, ?, d. 1519 Palencia) |
| Netherlandish painter active in Spain from 1496. He was one of a number of north European artists employed by Queen Isabella, who appointed him court painter in 1498. A miniature altarpiece he painted for her was once much renowned, but is now dismembered and scattered; a characteristic panel from it, Christ Crowned with Thorns (Detroit Institute of Arts), shows his delicate miniaturistic style. After Isabella's death in 1504 he worked for churches in Salamanca and Palencia. |
