Master of the Munich Cathedral Crucifixion

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Munich Cathedral Crucifixion", altarpiece of the cross altar of the Marienkapelle

The medieval painter who painted a crucifixion scene for an altar in the Munich Marienkapelle , the predecessor of today's Frauenkirche , is known as the master of the Munich cathedral crucifixion .

The artist, who is not known by name, painted this picture, known as the Munich Cathedral Crucifixion , as the middle picture of a winged altar. It is now in the Chapel of the Sacrifice of the Virgin Mary in the Frauenkirche, the side wing in the Kunsthalle Zürich . In 1960, Alfred Stange gave this name to a group of artists made up of two members in his work German Painting of the Gothic , one of whom he also referred to as the “master of the [Munich] Marientafeln”.

It has been suggested that the master of the Munich cathedral crucifixion is identical to the Munich city painter Gabriel Angler ; however, this remained controversial.
