Master of the Virgo inter Virgines
( fl Delft, c. 1483–98). North Netherlandish painter and woodcut designer. He is named after the altarpiece of the Virgin with SS Catherine, Cecilia, Ursula and Barbara (Amsterdam, Rijksmus.), formerly in the convent at Konigsveld, near Delft. First distinguished as an individual artist in 1903 by Friedländer, who subsequently assembled a considerable oeuvre around the altarpiece in Amsterdam, the Master is the least concerned with elegance and the most uncompromisingly ‘realist’ of the early Netherlandish masters and has been characterized as a forerunner of the Dutch school.
