Master of the Mansi-Magdalena

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Master of the Mansi-Magdalena: Mary with the Child in a Landscape , around 1510/1530

The so-called Master of the Mansi-Magdalena was an old Dutch painter who probably worked in Antwerp between 1510 and 1530. It got its emergency name after a depiction of "Saint Maria Magdalena" from the former collection of the Marchese Giovanni Battista Mansi in Lucca , which was acquired in 1897 by the Kaiser Friedrich Museum Association for the Berlin Picture Gallery .

The master of the Mansi-Magdalena is the direct successor of Quentin Massys , to whom he is stylistically very similar. In addition, he seems to have been familiar with graphic works by Albrecht Dürer and Marcantonio Raimondi . According to Max J. Friedländer , he could possibly be identical to the otherwise no longer verifiable Willem van Muelenbroec, who worked as a pupil in Massy's workshop in 1501.
