Geertgen tot Sint-Jans (Haarlem +/- 1465 - +/- 1495), is a master painter and has inspired many artists after him
The exhibition "Geertgen was hier" is shown at de vishal and de janskerk (north-holland archief). De vishal brings together 12 nationally known artists that have been inspired by this 15th century painter, and specifically his panel paintings.
de janskerk (noord-hollands archief)
will show replicas of all 14 works of Geertgen tot Sint-Jans in their actual sizes, together with books of his time, and other texts from the 15th century which covered him. Amongst them is the de Schilder-boeck (1604) by Karel van Mander.
de janskerk, is the oldest church in Haarlem, and was once part of the Haarlems Jans-Cloister or the Commanderie van Sint-Jan, where Geertgen worked and was later buried. Presently, the Noord-Hollands Archief is located here.
