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 See also: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. Ab
- ABBOT, EZRA (1819-1884)
- ABBOT, GEORGE (1603-1648)
- ABBOT, ROBERT (1588?–1662?)
- ABBOT, WILLIAM (1798-1843)
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." See also:Van der See also: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
