Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy

Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy
Lamentation with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Catherine of Alexandria (1493-1501),
a triptych in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts collection. The wing panels show Saint John the Baptist and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, while the centre panel illustrates mourning on the death of Jesus. The artwork is attributed to Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy.

Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy (fl. 1480-1510) was an unidentified Early Netherlandish painter who worked in Bruges, now a city in Belgium. His name comes from for an altarpiece in the church of Saint James in Bruges, which is dated 1480 and depicts three scenes from the life of Saint Lucy. Since then, twenty-five to thirty-five paintings have been attributed to the same hand. He may have trained Spanish students at his studio in Bruges. Many of them are characterized by views of the city of Bruges in the background, and can be dated according to the level of construction of its belfry. He may have trained with Dieric Bouts, and was certainly influenced by Bruges' greatest artist at the time, Hans Memling.
