Henning von der Heyde
Henning von der Heyde (also van der Heide; * before 1487 , † after 1520 ) was a German carver and painter.
Life
Henning von der Heyde is documented for Lübeck for the aforementioned period, including real estate. He was a student of the Lübeck carver Bernt Notke . V. d. Heyde worked for the St. Jürgen Hospital and in 1513 the painter's senior man .
Works
The St. Jürgen ( St. George ) sculpture group created in 3/4 format shows Saint George and the princess. It was originally created for the old St. Jürgen Chapel in Lübeck and is located in the St. Anne's Museum of the Lübeck Museum of Art and Cultural History. The dragon is a replacement from 1619. During Jürgen Wullenwever's reign , the chapel and infirmary were devastated and looted by incited supporters of the mayor on October 14, 1534, with a large part of the works of art and furnishings being destroyed and the building itself badly damaged. The statue of St. Jürgen, which was already considered valuable at the time, could be brought to safety beforehand, but the Heydes dragon had to be left behind, which was therefore destroyed. In the years 1540 to 1542 the church and infirmary were restored. The statue of St. George was found again in 1541 with other works of art in the estate of the former councilor Johann Sengestake , restored and returned to its old location; the carver Hinrich Wittekop made a replacement for the lost dragon in 1619, but it was visibly too small in relation to the other figures in the group. The statue of St. Jürgen was moved to the new chapel in 1646 , but was then felt to be too old-fashioned and unsuitable for the new building. It was stored in the attic , where it was not found again until 1861. The work of art was brought to the Katharinenkirche , and the monument conservator Carl Julius Milde carried out the restoration. It has been in the St. Anne's Museum since 1915.
A St. John's sculpture created by Heyde is located in Lübeck's Marienkirche .
The preserved parts of a carved altar in the Marienkirche Plau am See are attributed to his workshop .
Henning von der Heyde is also mentioned as the creator of the altar of the church of Brændekilde and of sculptures in the bishop's castle of Kuressaare , which originally stood in the church of Kaarma , as well as the creator of a sculpture of St. Jerome in the monastery church of Vadstena and a head of John the Baptist from Norrby Church in Uppland , now in the State Historical Museum in Stockholm .
Assistants
The workshops of the late Middle Ages in Lübeck could not do without a large number of assistants, whose own handwriting can be assigned to art historians on the basis of their own characteristics. The more able among them went into business for themselves. With von der Heyde as his assistants are associated:
