Considering the output of the Dutch painter Geertgen tot Sint Jans (ca. 1465-95) in relationship to the religious and social desires of his primary patrons, the Haarlem Hospitallers, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the artist's oeuvre.Although information about Geertgen's life is scarce, much is known about those who commissioned his work.
