The Master of Charles lll of Durazzo is named after the cassone front of the Conquest of Naples in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv no. 07.120 1) Everett Fahy '(Florence and Naples: a Cassone Panel in the Metropolitan Museum of Art', Hommages a Michel Laclotte, Milan, 1994, pp231–43), argued that the New York panel was ordered soon after September 1382, when Charles lll who had entered Naples on 28 June 1381, claimed the crown of Hungary making that panel the earliest surviving datable cassone front. As King of Naples Charles quickly formed an alliance with Florence which may explain his employment of a Florentine painter Miklos Boskovits who initially assigned a small group of panels including that in New York to his Master of Cracow, subsequently named the master after the New York picture, associating with it a number of other secular works.
