Et diagram over Jan Goedart's korpus, kortlagt ikke efter dato, men efter emne. Egerne er det, de malede; ringene er hvornår; og trådene mellem stjernerne afslører de mæcener og steder, der i hemmelighed forbinder dem.
Hver gren af atlaset samler værker efter deres motiv: portrætter, hellige scener, mytologier og videnskabelige studier. Klik på en egegren for at bringe den pågældende samling øverst.
Afstanden fra midten markerer tiden. Den inderste ring repræsenterer den tidligste periode; den yderste, de sidste år. Stilen modnes, efterhånden som man bevæger sig udad.
Farvede linjer forbinder værker, der er bundet sammen af samme mæcen, bestilling eller tema. Følg en kontekst for at se relaterede klynger lyse op på tværs af emner.
