Master of Antwerp Adoration
A Flemish painter who worked in Antwerp around 1520 is known as the master of Antwerp adoration . The artist, who is not known by name, is named after his small triptych with the Adoration of the Magi, St. George and St. Margaretha, now in the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts. The master is a representative of a style which the members of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke, who are summarized in art history under the term Antwerp Mannerists , represented at the beginning of the 16th century. These painters are at the transition from Gothic to Renaissance .
The master of Antwerp adoration got his emergency name from the art historian Max J. Friedländer . As part of his research on the Antwerp Mannerists, he had suggested the master's picture as a stylistic starting point for the search for further groups of works created by the same master.
