Hugo van der Goes
Between Pain and Bliss
Hugo van der Goes (ca. 1440–1482) was the most important Netherlandish artist of the second half of the 15th century. Active in Ghent and Brussels, he belonged to the second generation of Early Netherlandish painters, following in the footsteps of pioneers such as Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. His works were highly admired by his contemporaries and frequently copied, right up into the 17th century. In 1520, Albrecht Dürer referred to him as a “great master”, an honour he bestowed on very few artists. In 2022, the Gemäldegalerie will present the very first monographic exhibition to focus on this painter.
