Master of the Brunswick Diptych
( fl c. 1480–1510). North Netherlandish painter. He was named by Friedländer after a diptych in Brunswick of the Virgin and Child with St Anne in a spacious garden setting on the left panel and a kneeling Carthusian Monk Presented by St Barbara on the right (see fig.). The reverse of the right wing has a standing figure of St Bavo. The donor has been identified (van Luttervelt) as Hendrik van Haarlem, prior of the Charterhouse of Amsterdam until 1490, but this cannot be confirmed. The diptych was formerly attributed to Geertgen tot Sint Jans, although reminiscences of the style of the Master of the Tiburtine Sibyl appear in the barren architectural background and in certain drapery conventions. The composition closely resembles one of the same subject by a follower of Hugo van der Goes (Brussels, Mus. A. Anc.).
