Absolon mute

Hamburg city law, around 1497

Absolon Stumme († 1510) was a North German late Gothic painter who worked in Hamburg .

Life

Mute was probably of Danish origin. With the marriage of Hans Bornemann's widow Gherburg, he joined the influential Hamburg artist family as Hinrik Bornemann's second stepfather and survived him. Together with Wilm Dedeke , he completed the Lukas Altar as Hinrik Bornemann's main work after his death in 1499. In any case, a payment from 1499 went to “ Absoloni pictori pro preparatione et dipictione tabule in capella consulum hamburgensium ”

It is disputed which of the two may have been the master of the Hamburg cathedral altar . Both are associated with the master of the Lüneburg foot washing . The main altar of the Mariendom in Hamburg, which was demolished in the course of the secularization around 1806, was saved when it was demolished by the painter Philipp Otto Runge, who had just come to Hamburg, and was then sold to today's Poland . From 1834 it was first sawed up in single pictures in the remter of the Marienburg and after the Second World War it was brought to the National Museum in Warsaw in 1946 . In the meantime it has been restored as a joint German-Polish project.

In 1497 he created a panel for the high altar of the Laurentiuskirche in Lunden , and in 1499 the altar in the council chapel in Hamburg.

The representations of the Hamburg city law are also attributed to mute ones .

Works

Carl Georg Heise in particular ascribed a Lamentation of Christ and the Ascension of Elijah in St. Anne's Monastery in Lübeck to him .
