Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy

?, ca. 1430 - ?, ca. 1507

Biography

It was Friedländer who defined the work of the Master of the legend of St. Lucy in 1903. It is based on the story of St. Lucy from an altar preserved in the church of St. James in Bruges and dated 1480. Around this work an important corpus of works was created, which made it possible to date his work between 1480 and 1500 in Bruges. Within his landscapes, it is common for him to use the skyline of the city of Bruges, with its characteristic tower of the town hall that has served to date many of his paintings, due to the various proposals of enclosure that this tower had in the final decades of the fifteenth century (Veronee-Verhaegen, 1959, pp. 73-82). In recent years, several approaches have been made as to who this exceptional master might be: Roberts suggests Jan de Hervy, who died before 1512 (Roberts 1982); Versyp and Pierre-Giles Girault to Wouter van Campen (Gauthier des Campes) (Girault 2005); and Janssens to Frans vanden Pitte (Janssens 2004).
