Johannes Stenrat
Johannes Stenrat (* around 1410-15 probably in Lübeck ; † 1484 there ) was a German painter and sculptor of the 15th century who worked in Lübeck.
life and work
Stenrat is more often shown in old Lübeck documents due to his considerable fortune. Documentary references to his work are less frequent. Since the Hanseatic city of Lübeck was one of the trading centers for late Gothic art in Northern Europe at that time, the evidence of his work in the course of the Hanseatic trade is widely scattered.
Stenrat completed the high altar of his colleague Hans Hesse (carver) (1456) in the monastery church of Vadstena (1458/59) belonging to the Birgittine monastery . His signature can be found on the altar made by Bälinge in Sweden in 1471 . Because of these two works are assigned to him by art historians further work, including the Woman of the Apocalypse and the Holy Olav the climber as well as the sculptures of St. Luke's altar in St. Anne's Museum Luebeck , altarpiece from Sånga and Husby at the Museum of Stockholm.
He is seen as an important link in the Low German carving between the master Francke and Bernt Notke .
reception
The Birgitta sculpture in Kråksmåla Church, attributed to Stenrat, is shown on a Swedish postage stamp from 2003.
