Master of the Legend of the Magdalen

Madonna Nursing the Christ Child by Master of Magdalen Legend

The Master of the Legend of the Magdalen (sometimes called the Master of the Magdalen Legend) was a German painter, active from about 1483 to around 1527. His name is derived from a large, now-dispersed altarpiece, which has been dated to between 1515 and 1520 based on the costumes of the donor figures. However other works attritibuted to him are extreamly difficult to date with any accruacy. Many paintings have been linked with the triptych, which is though to have been finished late in the artist's career. Other major works include his two Magdalen panels in London.

Some of his portraits suggest a possible link with artists in Brussels, and its though he worked there, and headed a large workshop. Stylistically, the Master appears to have begun his style under the influence of Rogier van der Weyden; his work also shares characteristics with that of Bernard van Orley, and a link with the Master of the Death of the Virgin has been propounded. Like van Orley, this artist is believed to have been active in the court of Margaret of Habsburg, regent of the Netherlands from 1507 until 1530. Works ascribed to the Master can be found in the National Gallery, London, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
