This monograph introduces the sixteenth-century Louvain artist Jan
Rombouts (c. 1480 - 1535), whose oeuvre was previously assigned to
Jan van Rillaer. Debates concerning Rombouts's identity are
explored in detail by means of reinterpretation of published
archival documents and the discovery of numerous new documents. The
publication of the sources, most with full transcriptions, provides
a sound basis for the author's arguments supporting the new
identification.The remaining oeuvre of the artist, as it is known
today, comprises engravings and paintings. This monograph argues
for the expansion of Rombouts's oeuvre with some dozen
stained-glass windows, roundels and a drawn design for a church
window, while suggestions are put forth for other possible
attributions. Attention is given to the historical context for
Rombouts's activity as a glass painter, and the attributions of
these works, none of which are monogrammed, are made by comparing
their style with that of works securely attributed to the artist.
This section is backed up by numerous illustrations of the windows,
many of which are quite inaccessible. Finally, a discussion of
archival sources concerning the Louvain confraternity of St Luke
and commissions for works of art to local artists in the period
covered by the book, form the rich historical background against
which Jan Rombouts executed his oeuvre of engravings, paintings,
roundels and stained-glass windows. The size, individuality,
diversity and craftsmanship of this oeuvre enable us to finally
identify and place him securely within the history of south
Netherlandish art of his time.
