Life

Dirck Crabeth was a member of the well-known painter and glass artist family Crabeth. His exact date of birth is not known and has been reconstructed from other life data. He was a son of Pieter Crepel ( Crippled Peter ) Crabeth and the older brother of the well known glass artist Wouter Crabeth. His father probably came from Cuijk in Brabant and settled around 1511 in Gouda down. It is believed that he attended a high school, as he very well mastered Latin and probably Greek. Dirck received artistic training in Antwerp and was a pupil of Jan Swart van Groningen. Dirck Crabeth was influenced among others by Jan van Scorel, Maarten van Heemskerck and Frans Floris ( Antwerp). Between 1535 and 1540 he took over the workshop of his father and was first mentioned in 1539, when he received an order from Floris van Egmond for a window in the Catherijnekerk in Utrecht. He also received further orders, so among other things for the new church The Hague, the old church in Amsterdam and a lost window for the Church in Boskoop. His main work and the pinnacle of his career represent the ten windows, which he created in 1555 to 1571 for the St. Janskerk in Gouda. Even after he created another glass windows for other churches, as for the old church in Delft and a window for a device in Oud -Beijerland.

When he married exactly is not known, only that his wife died in 1557. The marriage was apparently childless.
