Master of the St. John's Altarpiece
Kingdom of the Netherlands
Master of the St. John's Altarpiece is a Kingdom of the Netherlands Northern Renaissance painter. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings.
This Dutch painter created a single large altarpiece in the late 1400s, blending Northern European detail with early Renaissance clarity. The Virgin and Child with St Anne, donors and Sts Francis and Lidwina shows crisp folds in fabrics, precise flower petals, and faces caught in quiet prayer. Every inch is accounted for, from the donors’ fur-edged robes to the saintly figures’ haloed halos. Want to step closer? Tap the donors’ crimson sleeves in the left panel.
