Master of the Antwerp Adoration

The Master of the Antwerp Adoration (active 1500 – 1520) was a Flemish painter in the style of Antwerp Mannerism, whose compositions are typically filled with agitated figures in exotic, extravagant clothes.

His notname is from a triptych showing the Adoration of the Magi, acquired by the Antwerp Museum of Fine Arts.

[1] Despite various attempts to match him to recorded names of artists of the time, a leading scholar described the question of his identity in 2007 as "still up in smoke".

[2] Apart from the Antwerp triptych, another with the same main subject in the Oldmasters Museum in Brussels (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium) is by the master,[3] and Peter Van Den Brink suggests a large triptych altarpiece on the basis of several fragments.
