Unknown Artists: Master of the 1540's

 


The Master of the 1540s is a Southern Netherlandish painter who was active in Antwerp (in Belgium). He has around 30 portraits accredited to him between 1541 and 1551. His art displays considerable talent and cultivation and it's believed he was a follower of Joos Van Cleve. This coincides with Joos Van Cleve's death in 1540 and the first known portrait of this master being in 1541. His clientele appeared to have been more modest than those patronized by Antonis Mor and Wiliam Key.
