Master of the Bamberg Altar from 1429

The master of the Bamberg Altarpiece (from 1429) is a Gothic painter who was probably active in Nuremberg in the first half of the 15th century. The artist, who is not known by name, was given his emergency name after the winged altar that he created for the Franciscan Church in Bamberg . Five panel paintings from this cross altar, dated 1429, came to the Bavarian National Museum after the church was demolished in 1810/1811 .

style

Although the master of the Bamberg Altar is still under the influence of the international Gothic, his work, like that of the Master of the Imhoff Altar , anticipates the developments of the late Gothic through its realistic and detailed depiction. The style is close to that of the master of the Deichsler altar . The master of the Bamberg Altar also shows the influence of the Master of the Cadolzburg Altar , whose work was initially ascribed to him.

identification

The master of the Bamberg Altarpiece is equated by some art historians with the painter Master Berthold from the Nuremberg area.
