Anthonie van Montfoort

Anthonie Blocklandt van Montfoort, Anthonie van Blocklandt or Anthonie van Montfoort (Montfoort, 1533 or 1534 - Utrecht, 1583) was a Dutch painter

Life

His father was a mayor of Montfoort. He went to learn under Hendrick Sweersz. in Delft and Frans Floris in Antwerp. In 1552 he returned to Montfoort, where he married the daughter of the then mayor.

Blocklandt then settled in Delft, where he produced paintings for the Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk, later lost to iconoclasm. Also he painted a work for the Saint-Janskerk in Gouda ("De onthoofding van Saint-Jacob"), now in the museum there.

In 1572, Blocklandt made a trip to Italy, after which he settled for good in Utrecht, joining a guild there in 1577. In 1579, he painted his best known work, the triptych "The Assumption of Mary" that is now in the church of Bingen am Rhein.

According to Carel van Mander, Blocklandt painted biblical scenes, mythological subjects and portraits. He is early-Mannerist in style and he and Joos de Beer (another pupil of Floris) were responsible for the Mannerist style begun by Utrecht artists around 1590. Few works can definitely be attributed to him. One of these is "Joseph interpreting Pharaoh's dream", now in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.

He was also the teacher of the Delft portrait painter Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt.
