Master of Burgo de Osma
( fl first half of the 15th century). Spanish painter. The anonymous painter named after the altarpiece of the Virgin (c. 1430–40; now dismembered, panels in Burgo de Osma, Mus. Catedralicio, and Paris, Louvre) made for the high altar of the cathedral of El Burgo de Osma, Castile, was a follower of Pere Nicolau and an important representative of Valencian painting of the early 15th century. The Virgin altarpiece in the parish church of Rubielos de Mora (Teruel) of c. 1410–20 is the painter’s most characteristic work, in which the elegance of the elongated forms combines with a vigorous expressionism. The Entombment (Seville, Mus. B.A.) and Deposition (Barcelona, Pal. Puig), all panels from a dismembered retable, are in a similar style. The Master’s later manner was more subdued, and the late Quo Vadis (c. 1440–50; Madrid, Mus. Arqueol. N.) shows his interest in naturalistic features.
