Master of the Prado Adoration of the Magi

The Master of the Prado Adoration of the Magi was a Netherlandish painter active between c. 1475 and 1500 whose identity is now lost.

[2] He is thought to have originated from the southern Netherlands and is known for his vibrant colourisation in panels depicting scenes from the infancy of Christ, he is thought to have been a pupil of Rogier van der Weyden, and is named after a copy of the "Adoration of the Magi" panel from that painter's St Columba Altarpiece.

Six panels are today associated to the master; five showing scenes from Christ's infancy and one of Saint Francis.

[4] Two panels now in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, are assumed to be wings of a lost portable triptych.

However this view was eventually rejected and the panels attributed to an unidentified painter, who had apprenticed under van der Weyden and was in contact and influenced by Memling and the Master of the Legend of St. Catherine,[5] who is sometimes thought to have been Pieter van der Weyden, Rogier's son.
