Stratonice Master
( fl c. 1470–1510). Italian painter. He was named by Berenson (1931) after two cassone panels with scenes from the Story of Antiochus and Stratonice (San Marino, CA, Huntington A.G.). Berenson also attributed to the Master two large panels of the Rape of Proserpina and the Story of Orpheus and Eurydice (ex-priv. col., Vienna, see Berenson, 1931, pp. 736–7) and a group of paintings that combine Sienese and Florentine stylistic elements. Berenson’s suggestion that he was a Sienese master active from 1475 to 1490, influenced by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, Filippino Lippi and Botticelli, was accepted by van Marle and Waterhouse. However, Fahy (1965) suggested that the Master might have had connections with Lucca and (1966) distinguished three phases in his career. From 1470 to 1480 there was the first, Sienese, phase when he was influenced by Liberale da Verona and Francesco di Giorgio Martini (see fig.). During a second, Florentine, phase the Master absorbed (c. 1480) the styles of Filippino Lippi and Botticelli, while in a third, Lucchese, phase (c. 1480 onwards) he had close links with contemporary painters in Lucca.
