Justus van Gent (1430–1480)

Born 1430 CE, died 1480 CE.

Justus van Gent or Joos van Wassenhove (c. 1410 – c. 1480) was an Early Netherlandish painter, perhaps from Ghent, who after training and working in Flanders later moved to Italy where he worked for Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino, and was known as Giusto da Guanto, or in modern Italian Giusto di Gand etc. The artist is known for his religious compositions executed in the early Netherlandish idiom and a series of portraits of famous men, which show the influence of early Italian Renaissance painting.
