description The Triptych with Scenes from the Life of Christ in the Prado has long been presumed to have been made in Spain by Louis Alincbrot, a painter from Bruges who settled in Valencia by 1439. Technical and stylistic evidence however indicates that it was made in the Netherlands, by a manuscript illuminator from Amiens, the Collins Master. He moved to Bruges in the 1440s, where he copied the works of Jan van Eyck and his circle, notably the Rotterdam Three Maries at the Sepulchre. The patron of the Prado triptych, Eximén Pérez de Corella, was an important fi gure at the court of Alfonso V of Aragon, and the work must have been ordered through his network of agents in the Netherlands.
