Master of the Lyversberg Passion

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Master of the Lyversberg Passion: Passion panel , around 1464, Cologne

With master of Lyversberger Passion (also master of Lyversberg Passion or master of Lyversbergischen Passion ) is called a painter of Cologne late Gothic, probably around 1464 or 1466 in Cologne drew a Passion altar of starts of Dutch Ars Nova picks. In close spatial, temporal and stylistic connection there are other panel paintings, which are referred to under the emergency names Meister des Marienleben and Meister der Georgslegende . It is unclear how many artists and workshops are involved. The artists had a decisive influence on art production in Cologne between 1460 and 1490.

Naming

Eight panels of the Passion Altar by the master of the Lyversberg Passion came into the possession of the Cologne merchant Jakob Johann Nepomuk Lyversberg in the 19th century and gave the master, who was not known by name, his emergency name . The following art history recognized the hand of this master in other works, although the exact grouping of images and the delimitation of the works of the master and his workshop z. B. seemed not clearly determinable by the master of the life of Mary .

style

The master of the Lyversberg Passion was with other painters at the same time from the Cologne School of Painting such as the Master of the Life of Mary or z. B. the master of the George legend under the influence of new Dutch painting significant for the further development of a new style in the Cologne area after the period dominated by Stefan Lochner . If Lochner could have received impulses from Robert Campin , then one can recognize the impulses of Campin's pupils like Rogier van der Weyden or Jan van Eyck in the work of the master of the Lyversberg Passion . The master of the Lyversberg Passion may have completed an apprenticeship in the Netherlands. Such an influence can be seen especially in his landscape details or details of the rooms, painted with absolute precision in the background of the pictures, these details show, as in van Eyck's work, the movement away from a schematic representation of Gothic to a design of nature in the pictures through observation. Nevertheless, the master of the Lyversberg Passion seems to be far closer to the religious images of his time, which were shaped by scholasticism , than his Dutch models.
