Master of the Burial of John

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Master of the Johannes burial of the notname for a painter of the late Gothic , the panel images of Blaubeurer Hochaltars be attributed 1493/94.

Live and act

The major order for the Blaubeurer Altar went to the leading workshop in Ulm , either under the leadership of the workshop manager Hans Schüchlin or already under the leadership of Schüchlin's son-in-law Bartholomäus Zeitblom , the rising man in the Ulm painting scene . Since the order exceeded the capacity of this workshop, Bernhard Strigel from Memmingen was called in , who carried out some panels on his own responsibility.

In 1924 Ernst Buchner was the first to point out that various employees were also working within the Schüchlin workshop. His suggestion of the "hand divorce" was largely adopted by research. After that, three painters were involved in the Schüchlin workshop: Bartholomäus Zeitblom , the master of the burial of Johannes (possibly identical to Hans Schüchlin's son Daniel Schüchlin ) and the master of the beheading of Johannes .

Anna Moraht-Fromm has questioned Buchner's “hand divorce”. She suggests that in the Schüchlin workshop, besides Zeitblom, only one other designer of entire panels should be accepted; she calls him Master of the Blaubeurer Crucifixion .

Works

The master of the burial of John is said to have painted:

  • from the Johannes cycle of the 1st change
    • on the right inner wing: exodus of young John into the desert and penitential sermon,
    • on the right outer wing below: burial of John and finding of his head,
  • and (since the front and back of the outer wings are from the same hand) from the Passion Cycle of the closed altar
    • the crucifixion at the bottom right.

The painter is evidently trained in the Netherlands , this is supported by his interest in wide landscapes and his attempt to construct an interior space by locating the head . However, he has difficulties in placing people in the room and combines them into staggered groups.
