Master of Alkmaar
( fl c. 1475–c. 1515). North Netherlandish painter. He was named after a polyptych of seven panels representing the Seven Acts of Mercy (Amsterdam, Rijksmus.; see URBAN LIFE, fig. 1), commissioned by the Confraternity of the Holy Ghost in Alkmaar for the Laurenskerk. These panels are dated 1504 and signed with a monogram. The figure types and spacious settings are similar to works by the Haarlem painter Jan Mostaert, suggesting that the Master may have been trained in Mostaert’s milieu c. 1475.
