Geertgen tot Sint Jans

Geertgen tot Sint Jans (c. 1465–c. 1495) was an Early Netherlandish painter active in Haarlem and one of the first great masters of the Northern Renaissance. Although his career was short, Geertgen created devotional works of remarkable beauty and spiritual intensity, influencing later generations of Dutch painters.

His most famous paintings include the Nativity at Night (National Gallery, London), admired for its pioneering use of light and atmosphere, and The Lamentation of Christ. He also painted for the Knights of St. John, which earned him the name “tot Sint Jans.” Geertgen’s art is distinguished by its emotional depth, luminous color, and delicate detail, qualities that made him one of the pioneers of Dutch Renaissance painting.
