# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Rogier van der Weyden was born around 1399 or 1400 and worked initially under the French version of his name, Roger de la Pasture. His altarpieces and portraits—marked by expressive pathos, naturalism, and an unusually broad palette where no tone repeated twice—made him wildly successful: commissions poured in from Philip the Good, Netherlandish nobility, and foreign aristocrats, and his paintings travelled to Italy and Spain. By the latter half of the 15th century he had eclipsed Jan van Eyck in popularity. Then taste shifted. His fame died in the 17th century, and by the mid-18th he was almost totally forgotten. It took two hundred years of patient recovery to restore him, and today he stands with Robert Campin and van Eyck as one of the three great Early Netherlandish masters. He died on 18 June 1464, leaving behind religious triptychs and portraits whose details were closely observed from life yet subtly idealised—statuesque faces, warm colourisation, a sympathetic expression that carries across both devotional work and the half-length, half-profile portraits for which he's equally known.
