Master of the Life of the Virgin
Master of the Life of the Virgin is a Northern Renaissance artist. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
This anonymous painter worked in the 1470s, specializing in small devotional panels that tell the story of Mary’s life. They used oil on wood to craft scenes like Virgin and Child with Three Saints, and the two surviving halves of The Life of Mary: the Assumption of Mary and The Engagement of Mary. Flip those panels and you’ll find matching scenes from the Crucifixion of Christ.
Their style sits in the late Gothic tradition, full of rich fabrics and quiet moments. Tap The Annunciation to see how soft light and deep blues bring this early Renaissance story to life.
