The article describes the influence of Bramante's architectural typology in Netherlandish art during the first decades of the Sixteenth century. When Netherlandish artists were looking for novel manners to represent antique architecture and ornament, Bramante was a voice of authority which was a helpful point of refence. In the case of Jan Gossart, this was though direct influence during his Roman sojourn of 1508. Other less-traveled artists (the majority) had to rely on drawn or printed sources. It is argued that copies of the famous Prevedari engraving provided a source for the construction of imaginary architecture for Antwerp Mannerist painters and Lambert Lombard.
