Dirck Crabeth

Dirck Crabeth (* around 1505 in Gouda , † 1574 in Gouda) was an important Dutch glass painter of his time.

Life

Dirck Crabeth was a member of the famous Crabeth family of painters and glass painters . His exact date of birth is not known and has been reconstructed from other life dates. He was a son of Pieter Crepel (Crippled Peter) Crabeth and the older brother of the also well-known glass painter Wouter Crabeth . His father probably came from Cuijk in Brabant and settled in Gouda around 1511. It is believed that he attended high school as he had a very good command of Latin and probably also Greek. Dirck received an artistic training in Antwerp and was a student of Jan Swart van Groningen . Dirck Crabeth was among others by Jan van Scorel ,Maarten van Heemskerck and Frans Floris (Antwerp) influenced. Between 1535 and 1540 he took over his father's workshop and is first mentioned in 1539 when he received an order from Floris van Egmond for a window in the Catherijnekerk in Utrecht . He also received other commissions, including for the new church in The Hague, the old church in Amsterdam and a lost window for the church in Boskoop. His main work and the highlight of his career are the ten windows that he created for the Sint Janskerk in Gouda between 1555 and 1571 . Even afterwards he created further stained glass windows for other churches, for example for the old church in Delft and a window for a facility in Oud-Beijerland.

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