Master of the von Grootean adoration

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Triptych in the Städel (1517)

A Flemish painter who worked in Antwerp around 1510 is known as the master of von Grootian adoration . The artist, who is not known by name, is named after a triptych with the Adoration of the Magi that came from the von Groote family and is now in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt . The painting was donated to the museum in 2008 by the Frankfurt patron Dagmar Westberg . It is considered a masterpiece of the budding renaissance in Antwerp.

The art historian Max J. Friedländer created the emergency name for the master and made his image of adoration from the van Grootes collection the stylistic core of the works he created. In art history, Friedländer grouped other works in museums in Antwerp, London, New York and Philadelphia as well as works in private ownership around the picture and ascribed them to the master of the von Grootian adoration by comparing styles . The art historians saw the constant within this group less in the same execution than in the repetition of a composition scheme and typical figures, for example a typical depiction of the lower half of the face and mouth area.

The master of the von Grootian adoration is a representative of a style which the members of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke, summarized in art history under the term Antwerp Mannerists , represented at the beginning of the 16th century. These painters are at the transition from Gothic to Renaissance .
