Dirk (or Dirck) Pietersz Crabeth (1501 – 1574) was a Dutch Renaissance glass painter, tapestry designer, and mapmaker.
Dirk's fame began when he won a commission to make a glass pane for the Janskerk after the fire there in 1552.
It remains a mystery today why these stained glass windows survived the Beeldenstorm and why Dirk and his brother were allowed to continue their work after the changeover from a Catholic church to a Protestant one.
Dirk Crabeth also made 7 windows for the chapel of an order of monks from Stein, South Holland, noted as the Augustinian monastery where Erasmus went to school.
In his biographical sketch, he wrote that Gouda had a busy glass painting industry that spanned several generations.
