Master of the Straubing Albrechtstumba

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tomb of Albrecht II in the Carmelite Church in Straubing

The sculptor who created the tomb of Duke Albrecht II of Bavaria in the Carmelite Church in Straubing in Lower Bavaria around 1410 is known as the master of Straubing Albrechtstumba . The artist, who is not known by name, made the high grave, also called Tumba , from red Salzburg marble . It is considered to be an excellent work of Gothic tomb sculpture from the late Middle Ages. It is counted among the most important examples of sculpture in Eastern Bavaria and reveals artistic relationships with neighboring Bohemia and the royal seat of Prague.

The master of Straubinger Albrechtstumba be attributed besides the Tumbengrabmal for Duke Albrecht II. In Straubing more artwork, including the Tumbengrabmal for Pfalzgraf Aribo of Bavaria in the Benedictine monastery church in Seeon , the cover plates of Tumbengrabmäler for Propst Hinder Kircher in the Augustinian Canons Church in Gars am Inn and for Abbot Höhenberger in the Benedictine Church in Ebersberg .

The master of Straubing Albrechtstumba depicts his figures and especially their robes in a very naturalistic way; In contrast to the creators of earlier grave paintings such as the often compared tomb of Count Palatine Rupert Pipan, who died in 1397, in the Martinskirche in Amberg , he attempts an idealistic representation, which indicates knowledge of the new soft style . This had influenced late Gothic sculpture from 1400 onwards.
