Petrus Christus

Petrus Christus (c. 1410–1475/76) was a leading painter of the Early Netherlandish Renaissance, active in Bruges after the death of Jan van Eyck. Carrying forward the innovations of van Eyck, Christus is celebrated for his mastery of oil techniques, precise detail, and integration of everyday settings into sacred scenes.

His most famous works include The Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints (Frankfurt), Portrait of a Carthusian (New York, The Met), and The Nativity (Washington, National Gallery of Art). Christus’s paintings reveal a remarkable balance between realism and symbolism, often including carefully observed interiors, landscapes, and natural light. He also introduced perspective innovations that influenced Italian Renaissance artists.
