Master of the portrait

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Master of the Angerer Portrait: Portrait of the Brixen Canon Gregor Angrer, 1519

With master of Angrerbildnisses (or Angrer-portrait ), a painter of unknown identity is known, in South Tyrol in the epoch of Renaissance worked. He received this emergency name after the portrait he created in 1519 of Gregor Angrer, canon from Bressanone and Vienna. After this work was first attributed to various other well-known artists, it was recognized as a separate work by a still anonymous master. Further portraits of the same style were therefore grouped as works by the master of the Angrer portrait .
