"Anonymous" means that the artwork has been made by an "Unknown Artist". But it was very unfair not to be able to include in the Master painters list those authors who produced some of the best known masterpieces, simply because we do not know their names. Sometimes archival research later identifies the name, as when the "Master of Flémalle"—defined by three paintings in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt— was identified as Robert Campin.
