Rogier Van der Weyden (1400 - 1464) was born as Rogier de la Pasture in the town of Tournier in Flanders. Little is known about his early years and education. He had his first documented apprenticeship at the age of about 27 in the workshop of the famous painter Robert Campin. In 1432 he was finally officially appointed as the acquitted master of the Tournier painters' guild. Success was not long in coming. In 1435 he moved with his wife and four children to their home town in Brussels. Only one year later he was entrusted with the office of Brussels' city painter. As a result, he was entrusted with many different projects from the most diverse circles. From this period come the well-known four pictures of justice, which he created for the Brussels City Hall. After the death of the painter Jan Van Eyck, he became the preferred painter of the Burgundian nobility. Officially, however, he was never employed at court.
As a late Gothic, Van der Weyden was aware of the sinfulness of man. This was also reflected in his art. His works before 1430 often had scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary as their theme. While the later paintings dealt specifically with the Passion story. A pilgrimage in 1450 led him to Italy. There he visited the cities of Rome and Florence, among others. During this journey he came into contact with the Italian Renaissance, which influenced his subsequent works. From this time he wrote "The Lamentation of Christ". His most famous work, however, is "St. Luke draws the Madonna with the silver pencil". Here he oriented himself on Jan Van Eyck's "Madonna of the Chancellor of Ronin".
Van der Weyden was considered one of the most important painters in Northern Europe alongside Van Eyck. His style had a decisive influence on Northern European painting of the late 15th and 16th century. Like Campin, Van der Weyden also trained many artists in his workshop. Among his students were painters like Vrancke Van Der Stockt, Hans Memling or Zanetto Bugatto. Some of his descendants also dedicated their lives to art. His son Pierre Van der Weyden became a painter and took over the workshop after his father's death. Pierre's son Gossen Van der Weyden also became a painter.
