Ornamental drawings
by Jan GOSSART

There is only one extant design by Gossart for a monumental glass window, now in Florence, although he is documented as having been commissioned by Charles V to make one for the Buurkerk in Utrecht - a project aborted by the artist's death. However, several designs for smaller-scale glass roundels are preserved. Gossart's designs for glass were not his only excursions into the decorative arts. As a true Renaissance artist, he was involved in many projects of a diverse nature: decoration of a triumphal chariot, design for wooden choir stalls, design for the epitaph of Philip of Burgundy, design for a a monument to Isabella of Austria.
