The Master of the Baroncelli Portraits (fl. 1480-1490) is the notname for a fifteenth-century Early Netherlandish painter.
Active in Bruges around 1480-1490, he is named after a pair of portraits (originally the wings of a triptych) of the Italian banker Pierantonio Baroncelli and his wife Maria Bonciani, which are now in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Only a few other works by the same master are known. A Pentecost, the provenance of which can be traced back to Bruges, ca. 1600, was sold in 2010 at Christie's for £4,185,250.
The Master is supposed to have been influenced by Hans Memling and Petrus Christus. His work, and especially the Pentecost, has been influential on later artists from Bruges, in particular Simon Bening.
