Master of the Möschenfelder Ottilien legend

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Master of the Möschenfelder Ottilien legend is the emergency name for a painter who worked in southern Bavaria around 1490. The eight panels on the gallery of the Sankt-Ottilien-Kirche in Möschenfeld (municipality of Grasbrunn in Upper Bavaria) with scenes from the legend of St. Ottilie (lower row: birth of saints, baptism, futile reconciliation with the father, prayer ) come from his hand for the deceased father; top row: exhortation of the sisters to pray, finding the dead Ottilie, resurrection and reception of the last sacraments, opening of the nurse's grave). The painter belongs to the circle of the “second Munich painting school” with Gabriel Mälesskircher .
