Agnes van den Bossche

Agnes van den Bossche (c. 1435-40 – c. 1504) was a Flemish painter working in Ghent in the mid-to-late 15th century. She is one of the few known women admitted to the painter's guild of Ghent, and worked mainly on designing flags and banners. Although these are records of numerous commissions, she is known today for her one extant work, the triangular banner The Maid of Ghent, the only recorded painting by a Flemish woman of the 15th century.
