Master of the Pollinger panels

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The master of the Pollinger panels is a late Gothic painter who was active in southern Germany around 1440 or 1450. The artist who is not known by name (possibly Gabriel Angler ) got his emergency name from the Pollinger panels he painted , an altar for the collegiate church of the Holy Cross of the Augustinian canons in Polling near Weilheim .

The altar was brought to Munich in 1803 during the period of secularization . A part is kept there today in the Alte Pinakothek , another part is in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg. The probably carved middle part of the altar is lost.

The master of the Pollinger panels is a representative of a new Gothic realism that has grown out of tradition ; his style was probably also influenced by contemporary art from the Netherlands.
