Hovingham Master
Master of the Hovingham Pictures or Hovingham Master ( English Hovingham Master) is suggested as an emergency name for a painter of the French classical baroque who is not known by name . Some of his pictures are said to come from the 17th century, which one previously tried to attribute to Nicolas Poussin . These include the two paintings from the Sir William Worsley collection, Hovingham Hall in Yorkshire , England, which give the artist his name , not known by name . The paintings of Leda and Venus are listed there for the first time in the inventory of 1777.
Despite an inscription on a copper engraving engraved in the 17th century after one of Leda's paintings, which ascribes this work to Poussin, the painting style of the Hovingham master is said to differ from that of Poussin in such a way that this justifies a separate work collection for this artist.
Hovingham-Meister is one of several emergency names under which a more precise attribution of Poussin and works assigned to his circle is attempted. So z. B. in addition to the Hovingham master, other works in the succession of Poussin were assigned to a Heytesbury master .
