Master of the Youth of Saint Romold
Master of the Youth of Saint Romold is a Northern Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Ireland.
This anonymous late-15th-century painter made small altarpieces full of gentle gold light and stiff, solemn figures. One panel here shows Saint Romold seated in Dublin’s bishop’s chair, his red robe folded like a book’s pages. Look for the way the paint glows behind the saint’s head, almost like a halo made of melted butter.
Next, tap the saint’s crozier to see how the artist carved that wooden staff into a zig-zag of carved leaves.
