Master of the Once Mil Vírgenes
Spanish
Master of the Once Mil Vírgenes is a Spanish Northern Renaissance artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Museo del Prado.
Master of the Once Mil Vírgenes is the conventional name given to an anonymous Spanish painter known only through surviving work, with no documented identity. Art historians assign such notnames, drawn here from a painting of the Eleven Thousand Virgins, the legendary companions martyred with Saint Ursula, in order to group works that appear to come from a single unidentified hand. He worked in the religious painting tradition of the Iberian Peninsula.
Because no archival record connects the name to a documented life, his exact dates, training, and biography remain unknown.
