Jan van Steffeswert or alternatively Jan van Steffenswert or Jan van Stevensweert (c. 1460 – c. 1531) was an Early Netherlandish sculptor and wood carver based in Maastricht. Contrary to the customs of the time, he signed at least some of the works he produced, using variously Jan Bieldesnider, Jan van Weerd or Jan van Steffeswert. To date, fourteen works have been positively identified as his.[1]
