JOEST, JAN, born probably at Calcar about 1460, died at Haarlem in 1519. History painter, first instructed at Calcar, then formed himself undoubtedly in the school of Haarlem, whence he seems to have returned to Calcar in 1505, and began to paint the great altarpiece in the parish church of St. Nicholas, representing, in twenty panels, the Life, Passion, and Triumph of Christ, containing 216 figures, which was completed in 1508. This shows him to have been a skilful master, trained in the old school of the Netherlands. In all probability he then returned to Haarlem, where he seems to have spent the remainder of his life, and where he was buried in the cathedral of St. Bavon. A Holy Family, attributed to him, is in the Brussels Museum.—Allgem. Zeitg.
