Juan de Flandes
(b c. 1465; d ?Palencia, before 21 Oct 1519). South Netherlandish painter, active in Spain. Nothing is known of his life or work before he went to Spain, where he is first mentioned in a document of 1496 as ‘Juan de Flandes’, a painter in the service of Queen Isabella of Castile. Treasury accounts confirm that he held this position until the Queen’s death in 1504. On arriving in Spain, he must have lived in Burgos, where he certainly met MICHEL SITTOW, another painter in the Queen’s service, who had been at the Castilian court since 1492.
