| Description | The Master of Hoogstraten is so called because a group of pictures by his hand were at one time in the Church of S. Catherine at Hoogstraaten, near Antwerp. although, on stylistic evidence, he appears to have trained in the Northern Province. He is one of the Antwerp Mannerists and his style is associated closely with that of Jacob Jansz. The subject is a characteristic depiction of the Virgin and child of the period, a type sometimes known as the Mater Amabilis. The presence of a seal on the reverse of this panel, bearing the Royal Arms and initials ‘M.R.' probably denotes that the picture was at one time in the collection of Mary II, wife of William III. | |
