Master of the Virgo inter Virgines

The Master has been described as the most uncompromisingly "realist" of his contemporaries, and not at all concerned with elegance; he has also been called a forerunner of the Dutch school of painting. The other main master active in Delft in these years, and rather later, was the Master of Delft, whose style shared more characteristics of Antwerp Mannerism, though also rooted in realism.

The authority associates the name with Early Netherlandish painting. Places of work recorded in the authority are Delft. Works named in the authority record are The Virgin and Child with Four Holy Virgins and Crucifixion. Work by Master of the Virgo inter Virgines is recorded in the collections of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Museo del Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Rijksmuseum and Walters Art Museum.
