Meester Allegro
Italy
Meester Allegro is an Italy Northern Renaissance artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.
Italian painter from the late 1400s to early 1500s, Meester Allegro made small devotional panels meant for private chapels. His *Worshipping the Christ Child* (1480–1515) shows Mary kneeling before the infant Jesus, her hands clasped in prayer. The scene’s humble setting—low wooden beams and flickering candlelight—grounds the sacred moment in everyday life. Look for the way Allegro’s delicate gold leaf edges catch the light like real gold leaf in a back-alley workshop in Florence. Tap *Worshipping the Christ Child* to zoom into the brushwork.
