Gerard David Gerard David (ca. 1455--1523) was a Dutch artist known for his brilliant use of color; he was a master of the early Dutch Renaissance. David was born in Oudewater, now located in Utrecht. He spent most of his time working in Bruges where he was a member of the painters' guild. In 1494 David became Bruges' leading painter, after Memling died. Gerard David's works are considered extremely accomplished, yet conservative and bland. His stately compositions are popular and have been copied many times. Most of his pictures are of religious nature in one way or another. David is probably best known for his painting representing the Judgement of Cabyses (1498), which is exhibited at the Groeningemuseum, Bruges.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h Sitemap famous paintings | famous painters | painting styles | famous artists | mixed media painting | painting technique | oil paintings | canvas painting | life oil painting still | abstract art paintings | modern art work | fine art painting landscape | oil painting reproductions - media | history of paintings | oil painting - idioms | links | review painting articles | review painting news | press release | Kids Costumes | Women costumes |
