# MASTER of Sainte Gudule [View the canonical artist record]() ## Artist - Profession: painter - School: Flemish ## Biography South Netherlandish painter. This name was given to the painter of the 'Pastoral Sermon' \(St Géry Preaching; Musée du Louvre, Paris\), which includes a view of the cathedral of Ste Gudule in Brussels. The north tower is shown as unfinished, suggesting that the work was painted before 1480, a date confirmed by the style of dress. Other works attributed to the Master include: the Virgin and Child with St Mary Magdalene and a Female Donor \(c. 1475-80; Museum of Religious Art and Mosan Art, Liège\), which shows the influence of both Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden in its composition; the Clothing of the Beggars \(Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid\) and the Liberation of the Prisoners \(Musée Cluny, Paris\), two panels from a series on the theme of mercy; the Portrait of a Young Man \(National Gallery, London\), with the portal of Notre-Dame-du-Sablon in Brussels in the background; and the Marriage of the Virgin \(Catherijneconvent, Utrecht\). Several of these show the painter's interest in architecture and the buildings of Brussels, particularly those in Brabantine Gothic style. ## Related artworks - [St Catherine of Alexandria with Sts Elizabeth of Hungary and Dorothy]() - [Three Female Supplicants]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
