Master F. P.

Master F. P. is the identifying name assigned to an anonymous printmaker active in Europe circa 1500. The artist is known exclusively through their works on paper, representing the production style of early 16th century engraving.

The artist’s documented output consists of 15 prints represented in museum collections. These works display a versatile range of subject matter, incorporating both mythological and allegorical themes. Notable examples include the heroic narrative Hercules Killing Cerberus and the hunting scene Hounds Chasing a Stag, alongside Christian and moral allegories such as Christ, Fortitude, and Hope.

The historical significance of Master F. P. is established by the inclusion of their prints in leading international institutions, most notably the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As these historical documents enter the public domain, many of these museum-quality prints are now available to researchers and collectors as high-quality prints for study and preservation.
