Jehan Bellegambe

Jehan Bellegambe or Jean Bellegambe (sometimes Belgamb or Belganb) (c. 1470 – c. June 1535/March 1536) was a French-speaking Flemish painter of religious paintings, triptychs and polyptychs, the most important of which are now held at Douai, Arras, Aix, Lille, Saint Petersburg and Chicago.

He was a child of the first marriage of Georges Bellegambe,[1] a cabinetmaker and musician[2] who was living in rue Fosset-Maugart (renamed, in 1862, rue Haute-des ferronniers).

[1] Nothing is known of Jehan de Bellegambe's artistic training.

The first known mention of him is a document of 1504 which names him as a master painter.

[2] In 1528 he owned a house at the corner of rue de la Cloris and rue du Palais.
