Master of Canapost [Master of Seu d’Urgell]

( fl late 15th century). Catalan painter. Although he has been known by two different names, his artistic personality is apparent in a small group of works: the altarpiece of the Virgin from S Esteve, Canapost, near Girona (Girona, Mus. A.); the paintings of the reliquary donated in 1496 by Bishop Berenguer de Pau (reg 1486–1506) to Girona Cathedral (Girona, Mus. Catedralici); the canvases decorating the organ shutters of Seu d’Urgell Cathedral (Barcelona, Mus. A. Catalunya; priv. cols); two sections (an Annunciation and a Penitent St Jerome) from an altarpiece from the chapel of Nostra Senyora de Gràcia, Puigcerdà (Barcelona, Mus. A. Catalunya); and the great altarpiece of the Trinity from the Loge de Mer in Perpignan, dated 1489 (Perpignan, Mus. Rigaud).
