Lodovico Guicciardini
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"It seems probable, from certain points of resemblance in their style, that he was a pupil of Rogier van der Weyden. Vasari and Guicciardini state this as a fact, and it is confirmed by an entry, in an inventory of property belonging to the Archduchess Margaret, of a small altar with a Pieta by Rogier, of which the wings were painted by "Meister Hans."--History Of Painting Vol II The Painting Of The Renascence (1885) by Woltmann and Woermann |
