Master of the Turin Adoration

Master of the Turin Adoration is a Northern Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Philadelphia Museum of Art.

This anonymous Netherlandish artist painted tiny, crowded scenes packed with dramatic Bible stories. In the 1512 panel Christ Carrying the Cross you’ll see Jerusalem’s streets crammed with figures, each gesture sharp enough to read from across the room. Look for the red-robed soldiers pushing Christ forward and the onlookers craning for a better view.
