Jan Crans

Jan Crans or Cransse, a Flemish painter, was born at Antwerp in 1480. He painted historical subjects, and was received into the Guild of St. Luke at Antwerp in 1628, and became dean thereof in 1635. Van Mander speaks highly of a picture by this master which was formerly in the cathedral of Antwerp, representing 'Christ washing the Feet of His Disciples.' Two panels of coats of arms, one of the Chamber of Rhetoric of Diest, and the other of that of Turnhout, by him, are in the Antwerp Gallery.
