Master of the Lüneburg foot washing
Master of the Lüneburg washing of feet is an emergency name for a Low German painter whose name is unknown, whose activity was determined by art historians to be from around 1480 to around 1530. It got its emergency name after the motif of a plaque that belongs to a winged altar in the Lüneburg Museum . The research assumes that the master worked in Hamburg and Lübeck as well as in Lüneburg. It is believed that he is close to the master of the Hamburg cathedral altar , whom in turn others equate with Hinrich Bornemann or Absolon Stumme .
The master is associated with a depiction of Krispin on an altar outer wing at an altar, which is also assigned to the workshop of Bernt Notke , as well as other exhibits in the St. Anne's Monastery in Lübeck , wings on an altar of the Petrikirche in Hamburg , the crucifixion altar in St. Johannis Church in Lüneburg, parts of the wings of the altar in the church of Lendersdorf in the Rhineland and the predella of an altar in Högsby in Sweden .
