Keywords: Master of Frankfurt - Virgin and Child Enthroned - Walters 37773.jpg Here Mary is both Queen of Heaven and a modest pious mother while Christ's humanity is emphasized by his playfulness The graceful but conservative treatment of the Virgin reflects none of the new 16th-century emphasis on celebrating the human body seen in contemporary Italian painting However the elaborate fanciful architecture suggestive of a regal setting is not the late Gothic style with pointed arches characteristic of Antwerp at that time but rather calls upon motifs from Roman architecture such as the shell motif behind the Virgin then popular in Italy Many paintings by this outstanding but unidentified artist are known but none are signed He has long been called the Master of Frankfurt because there is a major painting of his in Frankfurt Germany He recently has been identified as Hendrick van Wueluwe who was active in Antwerp from 1483 until his death in 1533 Though he was dean of the painters' guild there are no works documented by him ca 1515 1520 Early Modern oil on panel cm 78 3 56 3 accession number 37 773 35969 Julius Böhler Munich by purchase Frédéric Engel-Gros Paris by purchase Sale Georges Petit Paris May 30 1921 no 27 Henry Walters city Baltimore Walters Art Museum Henry Walters Acquired by Henry Walters 1921 A Renaissance Puzzle Heemskerck's Abduction of Helen The Walters Art Gallery Baltimore 1993 place of origin Antwerp Belgium Walters Art Museum license 2D Renaissance paintings in the Walters Art Museum Master of Frankfurt Media contributed by the Walters Art Museum needs category review Madonna and Child
