Master of Spes nostra
A painter who was active from around 1500 to 1520 in the northern Netherlands in Haarlem or in other places such as Gouda or Delft is called the master of Spes nostra .
It got its emergency name after the only work that has survived from it, today owned by the Rijksmuseum (Reichsmuseum) in Amsterdam. It shows canons and saints at an open grave. In this allegory of the transience of the world, Mary, the Mother of God, is in the background as she walks to St. To see Elisabeth . This encounter, known as the Visitation of the Virgin Mary , is seen as a sign of hope (lat. Spes ) in the coming of the Savior. Spes nostra (“our hope”) is one of the invocations of Our Lady. The open grave as well as the paradise garden with angels and a peacock in the background also appear as symbols of hope for the resurrection. However, the composition of the motifs is unusual.
