Classical architecture in Jan Gossaert's Neptune and Amphitrite

Résumé

We propose to present a paper about the relationship between Jan Gossart, a Flemish painter active in the early sixteenth century, and his patron, the admiral Philip of Burgundy, a great humanist who took the artist with him in Italy to copy the monuments of ancient Rome. Through the study of various architectural elements presents in his famous painting Neptune and Amphitrite (executed in 1516 for the prince of burgundy), our purpose is to evaluate the Gossart's real knowledge of roman architecture and to determine the degrees of the intervention of Philip in this exceptional representation of classic temple, and particularly for the application of the rules of Vitruvius. This research that is an excellent example of transmission of knowledge between an artist and an humanist.
