Goswin van der Weyden

Goossen van der Weyden ( * ca 1465 in Brussels; † after 1538) was a Dutch painter.

Life

Goossen van der Weyden was a grandson of Rogier van der Weyden. Pieter van der Weyden (* 1437, † after 1514), son of Roger's father and Goossens had the Brussels workshop of Rogier inherited in 1464. Goossen probably worked in his father's workshop until 1492, when he moved to Lier, where he painted the organ doors from Sint Gummaruskerk. He led a successful workshop in Lier and acquired in 1498 is already a big house. At this time his fame must have already passed far beyond via Lier, because it already it acquired the civil rights of Antwerp one year. In 1500 moved Goossen his workshop in Antwerp, probably because of the many rich and influential buyers cartridge. There he employed 1503-1522 at least eight apprentices.

Thanks to its distinctive style and well-documented orders can be relatively easily tracked Goossens career.
