Blondeel, Lancelot (b ?Poperinghe, 1498; bur. Bruges, 4 Mar. 1561). Netherlandish painter, active mainly in Bruges, where he became a member of the painters' guild in 1519. He was highly versatile and also worked as a printmaker, architect, civil engineer, cartographer, and designer of sculpture, tapestries, and pageant decorations. In his day he was well known and highly regarded (he is mentioned by Vasari) and in 1550 he and Jan van Scorel were given the prestigious commission to restore the van Eycks' celebrated Ghent Altarpiece. The triptych of the Martyrdom of Sts Cosmas and Damian (1523, St Jacques, Bruges) is typical of his work as a painter in its profusion of Italianate ornament. By the 16th century Bruges had declined greatly in importance as a trading centre as its port silted up, and Blondeel represents one of the last sparks of its great artistic tradition.
