This image depicts a detail from the Legend of St Ursula, the Church and the Synagogue altarpiece, completed around 1475-1482 by the painter known today as the Master of the Legend of St Ursula. Active in Bruges between 1470 and 1500 (in contrast to the German artist given the same title who was active in Cologne 1480-1510), this artist employed a typical Flemish style. The figure types and attention to minute details reveals a clear influence of Rogier van der Weyden, Hans Memling, and Hugo van der Goes. While the original form and content of the altarpiece is no longer known, it did include two large wings that each consisted of four panels, each 18.7 x 11.8 in, painted on both sides. On the front side appears a comprehensive cycle relating the legend of St Ursula and the eleven thousand virgins painted in oil on the oak panels. After her pilgrimage to Rome, she and her 11,000 virgin companions are massacred by the Huns in Cologne, and this scene of martyrdom is presented here. The Huns’ leader Julius appears in a long blue tunic next to the river, surrounded by his soldiers. Ursula appears in her crown and royal finery in the nearest ship with an arrow piercing her body. In the ship just above her we see the pope and Cardinal Vincentius, who accompanied her on her journey home from Rome, about to be stabbed. While anonymous artists such as the Master of the Legend of St Ursula have been largely ignored today, they were recognized for their skillfulness and talent during their own time. ; 18.7 in x 11.8 in (each panel)
