Master of the Coburg round sheets

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Master of the Coburg round leaves ( English Master of the Coburg Roundels ) refers to an old German draftsman and painter of about 1485 to about 1500 in the Upper Rhine and finally in Strasbourg worked.

Naming

The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name from two round-format pen drawings that are kept in the art collection of the Veste Coburg . In addition to the works in Coburg, a total of more than 100 works by the master can be found in the copperplate cabinets of other leading museums such as Berlin, Los Angeles, Madrid and Paris. Furthermore, paintings and drafts for glass windows in Strasbourg are attributed to the master of the Coburg round sheets.

Art historical importance

Even if the works of the master of the Coburg Rundblätter are often copies or traces of works by other artists, his work is an important source for an understanding of the art of drawing and painting shortly before the Dürer period.

Master of dress studies

Since some of the works of the master of the Coburg round sheets are studies of drapery in robes, he is also referred to as the master of the robe studies .

Works (selection)

Over 100 drawings, numerous paintings and other works are ascribed to the master of the Coburg round sheets, including:

  • Pen drawings
    • Christ on the Mount of Olives . State Art Gallery Karlsruhe Inv. No. 2184
    • Maria im Rosenhag . Art collection of the Veste Coburg
    • Three pen drawings . Engraving cabinet of the Musées de la Ville de Strasbourg
    • Christ on the Mount of Olives , pen in brown and blackish brown. Art collection of the Veste Coburg
  • painting
  • Stained glass window
    • As some of the drawings are stained glass windows of the Strasbourg Cathedral from 1460, it is suggested that the master of the Coburg round sheets provided the designs for these windows or that he worked in one of the glass workshops there.
