Geertgen tot Sint Jans (c. 1465 – c. 1495)

• Also known as Geertgen van Haarlem, Gerrit Gerritsz, Gheertgen.
• Was an Early Netherlandish painter from the northern Low Countries.
• According to van Mander, Geertgen was probably a pupil of Albert van Ouwater.
• Both painters lived in the city of Haarlem, where Geertgen was attached to the house of the Knights of Saint John.
• In van Mander's book he states that Geertgen took the name of St. John without joining the order, thus his last name "tot Sint Jans" was derived from the order's name and means "unto Saint John".
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Geertgen tot Sint Jans, John the Baptist in the Einode, c. 1484.
