He was named
Meister der Kölner Ursula-Legende after a series of paintings depicting the life of
Saint Ursula once found in the
Basilica of St. Severin, Cologne. Since World War II, when much of the series was lost, the remaining fragments of paintings have been scattered in various museums. He is not to be confused with the
Master of St. Severin, also from Cologne, who worked in the same period, or with the
Bruges master named for a different version of the life of Ursula. ==References==
