Master of Adoration Thyssen: The Adoration of the Magi. 1520, Danube region. (also assigned to Wolf Huber)

A painter who was probably active in the Bavarian or Austrian Danube region at the beginning of the 16th century is referred to as the Master of Adoration Thyssen . The artist, who is not known by name, first got his emergency name from the painting The Adoration of the Magi painted by him around 1520 , which was contained in the Thyssen Collection in Lugano. The work is now in the Monastery of Pedralbes ( Spanish Monasterio de Pedralbes) near Barcelona as part of the permanent exhibition Fundación Colección Thyssen-Bornemisza.

The Master of Adoration Thyssen depicts the Magi adoring the Infant Jesus in his picture . The work was considered to be a work by the Renaissance painter Wolf Huber before it was attributed to the master . In art history, however, the assignment to an independent other hand was then further confirmed and a few other pictures and drawings assigned to the artist, who remained anonymous,

The style of the Master of Adoration Thyssen shows the transition from the late Gothic to the enlightened humanism of the Renaissance, which z. B. closer observation and lifelike representation of nature and z. B. shows the incidence of light and shadows in the pictures. In the painting style used in the worship , an influence of Albrecht Altdorfer and Wolf Huber can be seen.
