Van der Weyden, Rogier

Rogier van der Weyden (Tournai, c. 1399/1400 - Brussels, 18 June 1464) was an Early Netherlandish painter and one of the supreme masters of fifteenth-century European art. His works are celebrated for emotional intensity, precise drawing, and richly expressive religious drama. Alongside Jan van Eyck, he transformed northern painting through realism, devotion, and psychological depth.
