Master of Frankfurt, c. (1460 - active 1520s)
• Was a Flemish Renaissance painter active in Antwerp.
• Although he probably never visited Frankfurt am Main, his name derives from two paintings commissioned from patrons in that city.
• The painting are the Holy Kinship (c. 1503) in the Frankfurt Historical Museum and a Crucifixion in the Städel museum.
• He is one of many anonymous artists identifiable by their painting style but not by name.
• The Master of Frankfurt is, often thought to be a Hendrik van Wueluwe, an artist famous in Antwerp around the same time as the anonymous painter but otherwise unconnected to any paintings.
• The Master of Frankfurt is also known for painting numerous copies after earlier Netherlandish painters such as Rogier van der Weyden and Hugo van der Goes.
