Gonçalves, Nuno

The Oxford Dictionary of Art | 2004 | | Copyright

Gonçalves, Nuno (active 1450–71). Portuguese painter, first recorded in 1450, when he was appointed court painter by Alfonso V. No works certainly by his hand survive, but there is strong circumstantial evidence that he was responsible for the St Vincent polyptych (c.1460–70, Mus. Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon), the outstanding Portuguese painting of the 15th century. The style is rather dry, but powerfully realistic, and the polyptych contains a superb gallery of highly individualized portraits of members of the court, including a presumed self-portrait. There are affinities with contemporary Burgundian and Flemish art, especially the work of Bouts.
