Jan van Steffeswert

Jan van Steffeswert's Marianum in Aachen Cathedral

Jan van Steffeswert or alternatively Jan van Steffenswert or Jan van Stevensweert (born c. 1460 - died c. 1531) was a Flemish sculptor and woodcarver based in Maastricht. Contrary to the customs of the time, he signed almost all the works he produced using variously Jan Bieldesnider, Jan van Weerd or Jan van Steffeswert. To date, fourteen works have been positively identified as his.^[1].
