petrus christus

Petrus Christus’s style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, the use of linear perspective, and soft chiaroscuro modeling. He devoted equal care to portraits and religious scenes, always striving for heightened realism. His art was deeply influenced by Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and Robert Campin, from whom he adopted certain stylistic elements. Petrus Christus played a pivotal role in the development of Netherlandish painting, serving as a crucial link between generations of artists. Among Petrus Christus’s most celebrated works are Portrait of a Young Girl (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin), Madonna and Child (Museo del Prado, Madrid), and Portrait of a Carthusian (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). These masterpieces vividly display the harmony and expressiveness characteristic of the artist’s hand. Our catalogue offers high-quality digital reproductions of Petrus Christus’s finest works.
