Bernard Van Orley

Bernard van Orley (c. 1488–1541) was a leading painter, tapestry designer, and stained-glass artist of the Flemish Renaissance. Based in Brussels, he served as court painter to Margaret of Austria and Mary of Hungary, blending the meticulous detail of the Netherlandish tradition with the grandeur of Italian Renaissance influences.

His most famous works include the Hunts of Maximilian tapestry series, the Altarpiece of the Deposition (Brussels), and portraits of Charles V and his court. Van Orley’s ability to merge Flemish precision with Italianate composition made him one of the central figures in 16th-century Brussels, paving the way for a flourishing of tapestry and panel painting.
