 The guild was for painters and gold- and silversmiths, with St. Luke being the patron saint of the painters, and St. Eligius being the patron saint for the smiths.The earliest charter for the guild no longer exists, but the earliest one still in the archives is from 1514.That charter remained in effect until the "beeldenstorm", whereupon the guild altar found temporary housing in the Vrouwenbroerskerk, since the Bavokerk had become Protestant and all the guilds had left the church.
