Disambig needed?[edit]

When I was helping Art History students edit this we got ourselves in a tangle over the number of similarly named 'Master's of the Magdalen'. It's pretty confusing on Commons too. At the very least there is:

Master of the Legend of the Magdalen (this article), Flemish, 1480-1537, Commons Cat
Master of the Mansi Magdalen, Flemish, 1510-1530, Commons Cat
Master of the Magdalen (not on EN but on FR and IT, Italian, 1265-1290, Commons Cat

Maybe it was just my ignorance of Art History that got us in a mess but might average readers be susceptible to similar confusion? Cheers, PatHadley (talk) 14:16, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On Grove/Oxford Art Online these are respectively:

"Master of the Legend of St Mary Magdalene - (fl Brussels, c. 1490–c. 1526). South Netherlandish painter. This name was given by Friedländer on the basis of two panels from a dismembered polyptych of the Legend of St Mary Magdalene (c. 1515–20)
"Master of the Mansi Magdalene, (fl ?Antwerp, c. 1515–25). South Netherlandish painter. He was named after a painting of the Magdalene (Berlin, Gemäldegal.), formerly in the collection of the Marchese Battista Mansi at Lucca, ..."
"Magdalen Master - (fl Florence, c. 1265–90). Italian painter. One of the most influential artists in 13th-century Florence, he was named by Sirén (1922) ...."

- they only list these 3. Johnbod (talk) 15:06, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
