Burgundian Netherlands, 1440–1482
Hugo Van der Goes was a Burgundian Netherlands Northern Renaissance painter. 32 works are cataloged here, principally at Catholic University of Leuven, most of them oil paintings. Hugo Van der Goes was born in Ghent.
Hugo van der Goes (c. 1430/1440 – 1482) was a Flemish painter who was one of the most significant and original Early Netherlandish painters of the late 15th century. Van der Goes was an important painter of altarpieces as well as portraits. He introduced important innovations in painting through his monumental style, use of a specific colour range and individualistic manner of portraiture.
From 1483 onwards, the presence of his masterpiece, the Portinari Triptych, in Florence played a role in the development of realism and the use of colour in Italian Renaissance art.
