Abstract

The reason for this dissertation is to highlight the Barber Institute of Arts exceptional double-faced panel, Joseph and the Suitors and the Nativity at Night, by Jan de Beer. This essay investigates the substance, purpose and original destination of the paintings to firmly establish their great significance amongst the art of the Northern Renaissance. Furthermore this work aims to help re-establish de Beer’s reputation. In the sixteenth century he was one of the best and best known painters in Antwerp, when it was the most cosmopolitan city in Europe and yet outside of a small circle he is hardly appreciated today.
