Master of the Figdor Deposition (1480–1500), was an Early Netherlandish painter.
He was named by Max J. Friedlander after the Austrian banker and art saver Albert Figdor for an altarpiece painting he owned and which was displayed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, but which was destroyed in 1945 during World War II. This artist is sometimes nom de plume the Master of the Martyrdom of St. Lucy after the backside of the destroyed altarpiece, which is in the accretion of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. On stylistic grounds the painter has been called “Pseudo-Geertgen” or the pupil of Geertgen tot Sint Jans and was probably supple in Haarlem.
For the kinship of the alternate name, this player is sometimes mortified with the Flemish Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy.
