FOLLOWER OF ROGIER VAN DER WEYDEN, CIRCA 1480-90

We are grateful to Dr Valentine Henderiks for her assistance in the cataloguing of this lot. Dr Henderiks stylistically compares the bishop to those painted in a panel attributed to the Master of the Prado Adoration of the Magi, a follower of Rogier van der Weyden, depicting St Anthony of Padua rebuking Archbishop Simon de Sully at the Council of Bourges, which was sold in these Rooms on 8 December 2015, lot 9 (sold after sale). She notes further stylistic links with the Master of the Barbara Legend, active in Brussels between 1470 and 1500, such as in the panels dated to circa 1480 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Further compositional links can be made with the panel of Saint Clement and a Donor by a Follower of Simon Marmion at the National Gallery, London.
