See also:LUCAS See also:VAN See also:LEYDEN (c. 1494-1533)
, Dutch painter, was See also:born at See also:Leiden, where his See also:father Huig Jacobsz gave him the first lessons in See also:art
.
He then entered the See also:painting-See also:room of Cornelis Engelbrechtszen of Leiden, and soon became known for his capacity in making designs for See also:glass, See also:engraving See also:copper-plates, painting pictures, portraits and landscapes in oil and distemper
.
According to See also:van See also:Mander he was born in 1494, and painted at the See also:age of twelve a " See also:Legend of St See also:Hubert " for which he was paid a dozen florins
.
He was only fourteen when he finished a See also:plate representing See also:Mahomet taking the See also:life of See also:Sergius, the See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

monk, and at fifteen he produced a See also:series of nine plates for a "See also:Passion," a "Temptation of St See also:Anthony," and a "See also:Conversion
94
of St See also:Paul." The See also:list of his engravings in 1510, when, according to van Mander, he was only sixteen, includes subjects as various as a celebrated " Ecce Homo," " See also:Adam and See also:Eve expelled from See also:Paradise," a herdsman and a milkmaid with three cows, and a little naked girl See also:running away from a See also:barking See also:dog
.
Whatever may be thought of the tradition embodied in van Mander's pages as to the true age of See also:Lucas van See also:Leyden, there is no doubt that, as See also:early as 1508, he was a See also:master of repute as a copper-plate engraver
.
It was the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time when art found patrons among the public that could See also:ill afford to buy pictures, yet had enough See also:interest in culture to satisfy itself by means of prints
.
Lucas van Leyden became the representative See also:man for the public of See also:- HOLLAND

Holland as See also:Durer for that of See also:Germany; and a rivalry See also:grew up between the two engravers, which came to be so See also:close that on the neutral See also:market of See also:Italy the products of each were all but evenly quoted
.
See also:Vasari affirmed that Durer surpassed Lucas as a designer, but that in the use of the graver they were both unsurpassed, a See also:judgment which has not been reversed
.
But the rivalry was friendly
.
About the time when Durer visited the See also:Netherlands Lucas went to See also:Antwerp, which then flourished as an See also:international mart for productions of the See also:pencil and the graver, and it is thought that he was the master who took the freedom of the Antwerp gild in 1521 under the name of Lucas the Hollander
.
In Mirer's See also:diary kept during his travels in the See also:Low Countries, we find that at Antwerp he met Lucas, who asked him to See also:dinner, and that Purer accepted
.
He valued the art of Lucas at its true figure, and exchanged the Dutchman's prints for eight florins' See also:worth of his own
.
In 1527 Lucas made a tour of the Netherlands, giving dinners to the painters of the See also:gilds of Middleburg, See also:Ghent, See also:Malines and Antwerp
.
He was accompanied during the trip by See also:Mabuse, whom he imitated in his See also:style as well as in his love of See also:rich See also:costume
.
On his return See also:home he See also:fell sick and remained ailing till his See also:death in 1533, and he believed that See also:poison had been administered to him by some envious comrade
.
A few days before his death Lucas van Leyden was informed of the See also:birth of a See also:grandson, first-born of his only daughter Gretchen
.
Gretchen's See also:fourth son See also:JEAN DE HoEV followed the profession of his grandfather, and became well known at the Parisian See also:court as painter and See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0.

.
As an engraver Lucas van Leyden deserves his reputation
.
He has not the See also:genius, nor had he the See also:artistic tact, of Durer; and he displays more cleverness of expression than skill in See also:distribution or in refinement in details
.
But his See also:power in handling the graver is See also:great, and some f his portraits, especially his own, are equal to anything by the ,raster of See also:Nuremberg
.
Much that he accomplished as a painter has been lost, because he worked a See also:good See also:deal upon See also:cloth in distemper
.
In 1522 he painted the " Virgin and See also:Child with the Magdalen and a Kneeling Donor," now in the See also:gallery of See also:Munich
.
His manner was then akin to that of Mabuse
.
The " Last Judgment " in the See also:town-gallery of Leiden is composed on the traditional lines of Cristus and Memling, with monsters in the style of Jerom See also:Bosch and figures in the See also:stilted attitudes of the See also:South See also:German school; the See also:scale of See also:colours in yellow, See also:- WHITE

white and See also:grey is at once See also:pale and See also:gaudy, the quaintest contrasts are produced by the juxtaposition of See also:alabaster flesh in See also:females and bronzed skin in See also:males, or See also:black See also:hair by the See also:side of yellow, or See also:rose-coloured drapery set sharply against See also:apple-See also:green or black; yet some of the heads are painted with great delicacy and modelled with exquisite feeling
.
Dr See also:Waagen gave a favourable See also:opinion of a See also:triptych now at the Hermitage at St See also:Petersburg, executed, according to van Mander, in 1531, representing the " See also:Blind Man of See also:Jericho healed by Jesus See also:Christ." Here too the German critic observed the See also:union of faulty See also:composition with great finish and warm flesh-tints with a gaudy scale of colours
.
The same defects and qualities will be found in such specimens as are preserved in public collections, among which may be mentioned the " Card Party " at See also:Wilton See also:House, the " Penitent St See also:Jerome " in the gallery of See also:Berlin, and the hermits " Paul " and " Anthony " in the See also:Liechtenstein collection at See also:Vienna
