Abstract
Twenty-four records of payments to Gerard David recently discovered in the archives of the hospital Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ter Potterie at Bruges now make up more than one-third of all known documents on the painter's life. This study focuses on the significance of these payments for an understanding of David's finances, workshop, and possible travel to Italy.
