If you do sixteenth century costume, you probably love Holbein and Hilliard. You love/hate/generally-have-a-complex-emotional-relationship-with Bruegel. (Really, Pieter? You’re going to show me all those seams and still make the dress as hopelessly dowdy as possible? What’s with the hate, man?) You might not know Gerard David. His name doesn’t get bandied about in costume circles as much as some others, and that’s just a gosh darned shame. Because, truly, if you’re interested in the transitional styles between medieval and Tudor, Gerard is a fellow you need to know…

Wikipedia has a fair amount to say about Gerard David, but the bare minimum of biographical information you need to know is that he was active in the Netherlands around the turn of the 16th century.

What you really, really need to know is that the man had a brilliance for noticing and depicting details of clothing. He’s responsible for what has to be the single most useful painting ever if you’re trying to track down the history of the armscye and set-in sleeve:

(b Oudewater, nr. Gouda, ?c.1460; d Bruges, 13 Aug. 1523). Netherlandish painter, active for almost all his career in Bruges; he had settled there by 1484, when he became a member of the painters' guild, and after the death of Memlinc in 1494 he became the city's leading painter. At this time the economic importance of Bruges was declining, but it still maintained its prestige as a centre of art and David played an important role in the flourishing export trade in paintings that it developed in the first quarter of the 16th century. Late in his career he probably also ran a workshop in Antwerp (he is thought to be the ‘Meester Gheraert van Brugghe’ who became a master in the painters' guild there in 1515). His work—extremely accomplished, but conservative and usually rather bland—was very popular and his stately compositions were copied again and again.
