Straet, Jan van der
Straet, Jan van der (b Bruges, 1523; d Florence, 3 Nov. 1605). Netherlandish painter and designer, active for almost all his career in Italy, where he was known as Giovanni Stradano (or Stradanus or della Strada). He had his main training in Antwerp with Aertsen, and moved to Italy in about 1545. A protégé of Vasari, he worked in various Italian cities, but mainly in Florence, where he was much employed by the Medici family. He assisted Vasari with frescos in the Palazzo Vecchio, for example, but his main work for the Medici was as a tapestry designer. His Mannerist style was influenced by Vasari, but it always retained a Netherlandish accent and he was admired for his skill in genre painting, a northern speciality. Several of his designs were published in engravings.
