JACOB CORNELISZ VAN OOSTSANEN AT THE STROSSMAYER GALLERY

Sažetak
In an acquisition made by the Strossmayer Gallery of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Art (oil on wood 1,295 x 0,840 m) after World War II, the author of this text recognizes a work by Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen (c. 1470-1533). He quotes comparative material from Kassel and Berlin, supposing that the painting of St Jacob and St Catherine in Zagreb must have originated about 1515. Allusions to the German circle of Renaissance painters are explained by the author as resulting from the popularity of Durer's prints in the Netherlands, quite evident in the woodcuts of Jacob Cornelisz. The overstressed counterpoint existing within this firm tectonic composition confronts us here with the question of manner as a forerunner of mannerism. The author further relates the protective role of the saints with the fact that the Netherlands were
ruled by the Spanish crown at that period: in the warmth and lusciousness of the landscape behind St Catherine the author sees an urbanized North, contrasted to the distant, barren and deserted Spanish vista in the background of St Jacob.
