Dirck Vellert

Painter, engraver, etcher and designer of stained glass windows and woodcuts.

In 1521 he organised a feast for Albrecht Dürer who visited the city and impacted his production as an engraver.

He was one of the leading artists in the city of Antwerp, although today no paintings are securely attributed to him.

As a glass painter he received international praise and it is possibly Vellert who was in charge of the monumental cycle of windows for King's college Chapel in Cambridge.

Documented commissions include St. Mary's Church, Lubeck, Germany and the Council in Mechelen (both 1532).
