Antwerp mannerists

Master of 1518 ( Master of Dilighem Abbey ): Christ in the House of the Pharisee Simon , oil on panel, 16th century

The group of the Antwerp Mannerists comprises an unspecified number of painters from the Antwerp St. Luke guild at the beginning of the 16th century . They do not belong to the current of mannerism that originated in Italy , but can still be assigned to the late Gothic , albeit in the transition to the Renaissance .

Naming

The scientific name of Antwerp Mannerists goes back to Max J. Friedländer , who began in 1903 in preparation for his major publication on Old Dutch painting to collect works in various public and private collections and to bring them into context in terms of style. The first article on this group appeared in 1915 and, due to the lack of traditional artist names , he gave it five basic emergency names , often derived from the motif and storage location of the work, to which five more were added in later publications up to 1937. Friedländer's intention to draw a bow to Italian Mannerism with the group name Antwerp Mannerists is fed by different motives that have to be discussed and evaluated anew today.
