Master of Huckarde

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a master of Huckarde one is Westphalian sculptor and carver called that in 1500 in the area around Osnabrück worked. The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name after the wooden figures of the Pieta and Anna selbdritt he created . This originally came from the former Marienkirche in Huckarde, a small town whose church used to belong to the Essen women's monastery. After the dissolution of the Essen monastery in the 19th century and Huckarde's transition to the diocese of Paderborn, the figures ended up in the Paderborn Cathedral, where they can still be found in the Diocesan Museum and Cathedral Treasury.

The master von Huckarde was possibly an employee or assistant to the master from Osnabrück , to whom the wooden figures were first assigned. Due to small differences in the execution of the figures compared to the other works of the master of Osnabrück , however, they were removed from his catalog of works and the master of Huckarde was defined as an independent artist. By looking at the work of this master, it should be possible to interpret and structure the development of late medieval sculpture in the Osnabrück area more precisely.
