See also:WEYDEN, See also:ROGIER See also:VAN DER [originally See also:ROGER DE LA PASTURED 1 (c. 1400-1464), Flemish painter, was See also:born in See also:Tournai, and there apprenticed in 1427 to See also:Robert Campin. He became a gild See also:master in 1432 and in 1435 removed to See also:Brussels, where he was shortly after appointed See also:town painter. His four See also:historical See also:works in the Hotel de Ville have perished, but three tapestries in the See also:Bern museum are traditionally based on their designs. In 1449 Rogier went to See also:Italy, visiting See also:Rome, See also:Ferrara (where he painted two pictures for Lionel d'See also:Este), See also:Milan and probably See also:Florence. On returning (1450) he executed for See also:Pierre Bladelin the " Magi " See also:triptych, now in the See also:Berlin See also:Gallery, and (1435) an altarpiece for the See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

abbot of See also:Cambrai, which has been identified with a triptych in the Prado Gallery representing the " Crucifixion," " See also:Expulsion from See also:Paradise " and " Last See also:Judgment." Van der Weyden's See also:style, which was in no way modified by his See also:Italian See also:journey, is somewhat dry and severe as compared with the See also:painting of the Van Eycks, whose See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil See also:Vasari erroneously supposed him to be; his See also:colour is less See also:rich than theirs, his See also:brush-See also:work more laboured, and he entirely lacks their sense of See also:atmosphere. On the other See also:hand, he cared more for dramatic expression, particularly of a tragic See also:kind, and his pictures have a deeply religious intention. Comparatively few works are attributed with certainty to this painter; See also:chief among such are two altarpieces at Berlin, besides that mentioned above, " The Joys and Sorrows of See also:Mary," and " See also:Life" of St See also:John the Baptist," a " Deposition " and " Crucifixion " in the See also:Escorial, the Prado triptych, another (" See also:Annunciation," " See also:Adoration " and " Presentation ") at See also:Munich; a " Madonna " and a " St John the Baptist " at See also:Frankfort. The " Seven Sacraments " altarpiece at See also:Antwerp is almost certainly his, likewise the " Deposition " in the Uffizi, the triptych of the See also:Beaune See also:hospital, and the "Seven Sorrows" at Brussels. Two pictures of St See also:Luke painting the Virgin, at Brussels and St See also:Petersburg respectively, are attributed to him. None of these is signed or dated. Van der Weyden attracted many foreigners, notably See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

Martin See also:Schongauer, to his studio, and he became one of the See also:main influences in the See also:northern See also:art of the 15th See also:century. He died at Brussels in 1464. His descendant, ROGIER VAN DER WEYDEN the younger, is known to have entered the Antwerp gild in 1528, but no work of his has yet been satisfactorily authenticated.
