ORLEY, BERNAERT (Barend), VAN, also called Barend van Brussel, born in Brussels about 1491-92, died there, Jan. 6, 1542. Flemish school; history painter, probably pupil of his father Valentyn van Orley; went to Rome after 1509 (before 1515, in which year he is settled in Brussels), and became a successful imitator of, and possibly was even instructed by, Raphael. In 1520 he was appointed court-painter to Margaret of Austria, governor of the Netherlands, and then to her successor, Mary of Hungary (1524-35). Albrecht Dürer was entertained at his house in Brussels, in 1520, and painted his portrait. His early pictures show good composition and elevated sentiment, but his later style is somewhat mannered and exaggerated; though always careful in execution and brilliant in colouring.
