van Orley
Attributed to Bernard van Orley
c. 1488-1541
Bernaert van Orley, son of the painter Valentin van Orley, was born c. 1488 in Brussels; he died there in 1541. The first record of Van Orley’s activity is a portrait commission given him c. 1515 by Margaret of Austria, the Governess of the Netherlands; she appointed him court painter three years later. In addition to his work as a painter, Van Orley produced many cartoons for tapestry and stained glass. His assimilation of Raphael’s cartoons for the Sistine Chapel tapestry series (woven in Brussels 1517-19) made Van Orley a major Northern European master of the High Renaissance decorative vocabulary.
