Arnold of Nijmegen (also known as Aert Ortkens, Aert van Hort, Arnoud van Nijmegen, Arnt van Ort van Nijmegen, Arnoult de Nimègue, Arnouldt de la Pointe)[1] (active c. 1490 – c. 1536) was a 15th-century Dutch stained glass artist who worked in both modern-day Belgium and France, adopting the Renaissance style and influencing the stained glass workshops of Normandy.[2] His best known works are a series of windows depicting historical subjects in Tournai Cathedral, Belgium.[3] His work is known for its delicate draftsmanship, brilliance of colouring, the rich decoration of robes and detailed architectural settings.[2] He was praised in his own time by the writers Noviomagus (1522) and Francesco Guicciardini (published 1567).[4]
