GEERTZ Lived with the knights of St. John at Haar- lem, and hence was called Geertgen tot Sint Jans, although not of their order and prob- ably a native of Leytlen. He painted for the church of the order an altarpiece, two wings of which are preserved in the Vienna Museum, one a Pieta, the other representing the Legend of the bones of St. John the Baptist. Other works attributed to him are : Scene from the Legend of St. Lucy, in the Lippmann Collection at Vienna ; View of Haarlem Cathedral, in that edifice ; Crucifix- ion, in the Galleria Estense at Modena. Dr. "Bode is inclined to assign to this master also an Adoration of the Magi in the Prague Gal- lery, the Expiatory Offering in the Amster- dam Museum, and Christ in the Tomb sur- rounded by the Instruments of the Passion in the Archiepiscopal Museum at Utrecht.
