Description: | Painted, it is believed, in the Bourbon area of central France in or near the town of Moulins, the history of this panel is unknown until it was acquired by the Glasgow coachbuilder and art collector Archibald McLellan in the 19th century. It was evidently once part of a two-part folding altarpiece, or diptych, the left wing of which showed the Virgin Mary with the infant Christ. A warrior saint, wearing armour and holding a lance, presents a richly dressed churchman to the Virgin. If we knew the man's name we could identify his patron saint. The very rare works of the Master of Moulins are known by their stylistic similarity to the large altarpiece in Moulins Cathedral, and are Flemish in style, with the colouring of stained glass. | Subjects: | figure; religion (St Maurice) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Master of Moulins (Painter, probably Netherlandish, active 1480-1504 in France) Æ Attributed to Goes, Hugo van der (early Netherlandish painter, ca.1440-1482) Attributed to Gossaert, Jan (Flemish painter, ca. 1478-1532) Attributed to Perréal, Jean (French painter, ca.1455-ca.1530) Attributed to Eyck, Jan van (Netherlandish painter, ca.1390-1441) Attributed to Fouquet, Jean (French painter, born ca. 1415-1420, died before 1481) Attributed to Bruyn, Bartholomaeus, the elder (German painter, 1493-1555) Attributed to Memling, Hans (early Netherlandish painter, ca.1433-1494) Attributed to Bourdichon, Jean (French illuminator, ca. 1457 - 1521), and studio Attributed to Clouet, Jean (South Netherlandish artist, probably born ca. 1485, died 1540 or 1541, active in France) Attributed to Hey, Jean (Netherlandish painter, active ca.1480-ca.1504, active in France) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8305... | Go to resource |
