Master of Female Half-length

Dutch painter (active 1530-1540)

Master of Flemalle. Early Netherlandish painter, now generally accepted to have been the same artist as both the Master of Merode and Robert Campm (c 1380—1444). Campin worked in Tournai, becoming a citizen in 1423. Despite being 'mildly persecuted' for political activity and 'living in concubinage' his reputation remained high. J. Daret and Rogier van der Weyden were his pupils. No major works were known before the association of his name with works attributed to the Master of Flemalle, which include: Nativity, The Werl altarpiece. Miracle of the Rod and Betrothal of the Virgin, Portrait of a Man, Virgin and Child before a Tire-screen and Madonna in Clory. Attributed to the Master of Mcrode is the important triptych now in the Metropolitan Museum. As controversial as the artist's identity is the question of his precedence in relation to Jan van Eyck. His naturalism of style shows a quite different feeling to Van Eyck's but is hardly less revolutionary. He was probably the inventor of the painted
statues in grisaille on the backs of the wing panels ot altarpicces and of distant views of townscapes seen through windows.
