Master of the Linz Crucifixion

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A medieval painter who worked in Austria from around 1420 to 1450 is sometimes referred to as the master of the Linz crucifixion . The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name after the picture of a crucifixion of Christ , today in the Schlossmuseum Linz . It is the largest previously painted (obtained) panel of the Gothic in German-speaking zone.

style

The work of the master of the Linz crucifixion belongs to the late period of panel painting in the international Gothic style around Vienna .

identification

It was proposed to identify the master of the Linz crucifixion with the master of the St. Lambrecht votive tablet or as an employee of Hans von Tübingen , who also worked in Vienna . Some of the Linz crucifixion style related works such as B. Another, but smaller, crucifixion scene from Wiener Neustadt are therefore alternately assigned to the catalog of various of these emergency names. A more precise differentiation of the work of the master of the Linz crucifixion therefore remains uncertain in art history and is sometimes controversially discussed by experts, as well as whether the center of his work was around Vienna or not in Styria .
