Master of the Pflockschen Altar becomes an anonymous painter from the school of Lucas Cranach the Elder. Ä. who was active in the Ore Mountains. He received his emergency name after his work, an altar for the Pflock family chapel in St. Anne's Church in Annaberg-Buchholz in the Ore Mountains. He created this work in 1521 on behalf of the founder Lorenz Pflock, owner of silver mines in the region and councilor of Annaberg in the 16th century. In the middle shrine the death of Mary is depicted, the picture is said to have been based on a copper engraving by Martin Schongauer .
The master of the Pflockschen Altar may have run a workshop in Annaberg. Stylistically, it is still on the threshold of the late late Gothic to the Renaissance .
