Master of the Legend of Saint Ursula, c. (1436–1505)
• Was a Flemish painter active in the fifteenth century.
• His name is derived from a polyptych depicting scenes from the life of Saint Ursula painted for the convent of the Black Sisters of Bruges.
• The city appears in the background of a number of the paintings, in which the belfry and tower of the Church of Notre-Dame are visible.
• The Netherlands Institute for Art History hold his birth and death dates to be those of Pieter Casenbroot, who was registered in the Bruges guild of saddlemakers and sculptors in 1460.
• Today the panels have been dispersed to a number of museums around the world.
• He is not to be confused with the Cologne master named for a different version of the life of Ursula.
