Master of the Altarpiece of Santa Auta
Master of the Altarpiece of Santa Auta is a Northern Renaissance artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Ancient Art.
This anonymous Portuguese painter created vivid religious panels in the early 1500s. Their brushwork lights up the Marriage of St. Ursula and Prince Conan with gilded robes and courtly details, while Blessing of Saint Auta by Pope Siricius shows a pope pressing a crown onto a kneeling woman. Both scenes glow with the same warm palette and careful attention to fabrics and faces. Tap into Blessing of Saint Auta by Pope Siricius to follow the golden threads of this unknown hand.
