Master of the Strauss Madonna
Master of the Strauss Madonna (not to be confused with the Italian Master of the Madonna Straus ) is the emergency name for a painter who was oriented towards Dutch painting, especially the Lucca Madonna by Jan van Eyck and the Master of Flémalle Century worked in Regensburg .
The emergency name comes from a panel painting on coniferous wood depicting the Coronation of Mary from around 1440/50, which was set up in the Basilica of St. Emmeram in Regensburg at the time of Abbot Wolfhard Strauss (1423-1452) and is still today as a miraculous image on the Trinity altar is revered.
The picture shows the breastfeeding Mother of God, shown frontally on a lush green flower meadow, dressed in precious robes.
Another picture of the master, a crucifixion tablet, is in the City Museum in Bruges . The wings could have formed two panels (St. Dorothea and Katharina) in the Bavarian National Museum .
