About this person
He was one of the first painters of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting to visit Italy and Rome, which he did in 1508-09, and a leader of the style known as Romanism, which brought elements of Italian Renaissance painting to the north, sometimes with a rather awkward effect. He achieved fame across at least northern Europe, and painted religious subjects, including large altarpieces, portraits and mythological subjects.
