Gerard David (u 1460-1523) oli flaami renessansi meister, tuntud detailsete religioossete stseenide ja uuenduslike maastike poolest. Tema valgusküllased teosed mõjutasid põhjamaise kunsti arengut.
The Virgin in a Rose Garden—with the figure sometimes shown crowned—was one of the favorite courtly themes of late Gothic painting. The picture"s style reflects Provost"s training with the manuscript illuminator Simon Marmion in Valenciennes.
