Master of the Volckamer Annunciation
A medieval sculptor who worked in Nuremberg around 1430 is known as the master of the Volckamer Annunciation . The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name from two figures of an Annunciation to Mary , which he created for the Church of St. Sebaldus in Nuremberg . The coat of arms of the founding family , the Nuremberg patrician and councilor family Volckamer, can be found on the figures . The figure of the angel stands out from the other figures of the same epoch in the church, in particular because of its representation in profile. Some other figures in the church may come from the master and were also donated by the Volckamer family or the Behaim family .
