Vrancke van der Stockt

He is most notable as a "direct heir and popularizer" of Rogier van der Weyden.

[1] He obtained considerable recognition for his work, becoming the town's official painter after the death of Rogier van der Weyden in 1464.

"[3] He would often reproduce motifs from paintings by Van der Weyden with only minor alterations, as is evidenced by Kneeling Donor with Saint John the Baptist, now in the collection of the Allen Memorial Art Museum, in which the figure of the saint closely resembles that in Van der Weyden's Medici Madonna.

[5] Although he was primarily a painter, Van der Stockt also completed cartoons for embroideries and tapestries and designs for woodcuts.

[1] None of Van der Stockt's works are documented; rather, they have been attributed to him based on their stylistic relationship to the Redemption triptych, now in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
