Enthroned Virgin and Child, with Angels

c. 1490-1495

Gerard David (Netherlandish (active Bruges), first documented 1484, died 1523)

Jan van Eyck founded the Bruges school of painting, of which Gerard David was the last major figure. Although David worked on a much larger scale than Van Eyck, he too was known for the acute observation of details of the natural world and their rendition in glowing, enamel-like oils.
