Master from 1446

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Meister from 1446 is used to designate a late Gothic copper engraver from the Upper Rhine who is not known by name .

The master, who worked at the end of the Middle Ages , got his emergency name after his copper engraving with the flagellation of Christ, which he provided with the year 1446. It is the oldest copper engraving ever dated and preserved by an artist. The works of the master of playing cards are considered older, but his sheets are not dated by him. Presumably the master of 1446 was a student of the master of playing cards who worked in Basel , to whom he is technically close, but is far inferior in drawing quality.
