Towards the end of the 15th century, painters in Styria adopted a wide variety of styles from neighboring European areas or regions further away. The master of the Krainburg altar , who has a Dutch influence, must have traveled to the Netherlands and the Lower Rhine on his wanderings before settling in Styria. Stylistically he can match the school Rueland Frueaufs d. J. be assigned. He paints his figures in strikingly strong, almost garish colors and depicts their emotions compassionately. His work is reminiscent of the master of the Virgo inter Virgines and his depiction of facial expressions, which the depiction at the Krainburger Altar incorporates into a number of other similar images, the from the same master (same workshop).
