Justus van Gent

Justus van Gent (c. 1410–1480), also known as Joos van Wassenhove, was a Flemish painter of the Early Netherlandish Renaissance who later worked in Italy, blending Northern realism with Italian humanism. His art is admired for its detailed naturalism, luminous colors, and refined integration of Flemish and Italian traditions.

His most celebrated works include the Communion of the Apostles (Urbino) and a series of portraits of famous men, commissioned by Duke Federico da Montefeltro for his library in Urbino. These paintings display van Gent’s ability to capture both individuality and intellectual depth, marking him as a bridge between Northern Europe and the Italian Renaissance courts.
