Jan van Dornicke (* around 1475 in Tournai ; † around 1527 in Antwerp ) was a Flemish painter of Antwerp Mannerism .

Life

Jan van Dornicke worked in Antwerp from 1509 until his death. This is evidenced by the assistants employed by him. His best-known journeyman and son-in-law, Pieter Coecke van Aelst , joined the workshop around 1522/23, which also produced Antwerp retables for export in series, and took over van Dornicke's workshop around 1525.

Works and attributions

Since Georges Marlier first advocated this thesis in 1966, art studies have been discussing the extent to which the painter Jan Mertens and the work attributed to the emergency name Meister from 1518 concern one and the same person. The emergency name Meister from 1518 comes from the Antwerp reredos in the Marienkirche in Lübeck , whose painted outer wings show the year 1518 as the only indication of the time of the assumed origin, but are not signed .
