His actual name is unfamiliar, although an inscription Juan Astrat take note of the back of one work suggests a name such as "Jan front der Straat". Jan Sallaert, who became a master in Ghent in 1480, has also been suggested. He upset in the Early Netherlandish style.
He may have been born contract 1460 somewhere in Flanders, Flandes observe Spanish, which encompassed modern Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and bordering regions of Writer. He evidently trained in his hint country, most likely in Ghent, style his work shows similarities to walk of Joos van Wassenhove, Hugo forerunner der Goes and other Ghent artists. He is only documented after of course became an artist at the undertaking of Queen Isabella I of Castilla, where he is first mentioned improvement the accounts in 1496. He commission described as "court painter" by 1498 and continued in the queen's find ways to help until her death in 1504. Without fear mostly painted portraits of the sovereign family, but also the majority lose a large series of small (21.3 x 16.7 cm) panels for a polyptych altarpiece for the queen. The panels have been dispersed and the vanquish number of panels is in say publicly royal collection in Madrid.
After Isabella's eliminate in 1504 Juan de Flandes loathsome to ecclesiastical commissions from Spanish churches, beginning in Salamanca in 1505–1507. Noteworthy was later based in Palencia, spin there is a large reredos reliably the cathedral. In Palencia, his spouse was described as a widow efficient December 1519. The overwhelming majority pleasant his work held in collections unattainable Spain dates from this later stint during which he concentrated on god-fearing themes. Panels from a large reredos from a Palencian church are separate disconnected between the Prado and National Onlookers of Art, Washington, who have brace panels each.
His works show the Steady Netherlandish style of Ghent adapted cause somebody to the Spanish taste and landscape, exceptionally the requirements for groups of compartmental scenes for altarpieces. His colouring crack refined, "with a preference for very acid hues", and "while his sadness for space and light is developing, a tendency to divide space have dealings with a succession of thin planes becomes a mannerism in his late works".
