Cornelisz. van Oostsanen [von Amsterdam], Jacob
(b c. 1472–7; d before 18 Oct 1533). North Netherlandish painter, designer and woodcutter. He was the brother of Cornelis Buys I ( fl 1490–1524), who is usually identified as the MASTER OF ALKMAAR (see MASTERS, ANONYMOUS, AND MONOGRAMMISTS, §I), the uncle of Cornelis Buys II (c. 1500–1545/6) and the father of the portrait painter DIRK JACOBSZ. All four artists used the same housemark with their monogram. Van Mander reported Jacob’s birthplace as Oostsanen, a suggestion perhaps based on the fact that the artist’s family managed some land in that region. Jacob’s birthdate is estimated from van Mander’s statement that Dirck Jacobsz. was almost 70 years old in 1567.
