(b ?Maubeuge, c. 1478; d ?Antwerp, 1 Oct 1532). South Netherlandish painter, draughtsman and printmaker. During the first decade of the 16th century he was one of the earliest exponents of ANTWERP MANNERISM. Following his trip to Italy in 1508–9 in the entourage of the humanist sea admiral Philip of Burgundy, later Bishop of Utrecht, Gossart played an important role in the Netherlands in effecting the transition between Late Gothic and ‘Romanism’, a northern style based on antique and Italian Renaissance models. He was also the first Netherlandish artist to paint classically inspired, mythological nudes.
