Master from 1489

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meister from 1489 is the emergency name of a Westphalian late Gothic painter who is unknown by name and who could have been active in Lübeck and Soest .

In the case of this artist, it was named after the year LXXXIX . This dating can be found on the back of his main work, the Noli-me-tangere -Altar , which originally comes from the Walpurgis Church in Soest and is now in the LWL State Museum for Art and Cultural History in Münster .

The way he worked he is associated with the master von Liesborn and is considered his successor in school terms. The fragments of an altar from the Benedictine convent Herzebrock in Herzebrock-Clarholz , which were reassembled in the Westphalian State Museum, are also attributed to him.

At times he was regarded as the painter of the small upper folding panels on the Brömbsen altar in the Jakobikirche in Lübeck , whose stone reliefs are said to come either from Heinrich Brabender or , according to a more recent opinion in art history, from his companion Evert van Roden . The paintings of the outer wings on the altar of Amelsbüren , which are also in the museum in Münster, are assigned to him.
