it's never too late to start a new calling...
this is Roger van der Weyden
born in Tournai,
he had a comfortable childhood, ant its possible that he even got a university
degree, he started his painting career
when he was 27, an age a little advanced for his era,. he was inspired by Jan
van Eyck, and studied under Campin for a while,. in 1435 he settled in Brussels
where he was named the city's painter. but he still traveled to Italy quite a
few times where he was welcomed ant its told that he even taught Italian
masters oil techniques . his work although mostly religious, he also worked with some portraits. now a day's
though it's difficult to know what work
is his since none of them are signed or painted and are confused or attributed
to other artists.
