Master of Mörlbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meister von Mörlbach or Meister des Mörlbacher Marienaltar is the emergency name for a painter of the late 15th century who was under Flemish influence. Björn Statnik identified him in 2009 with the Landshut court painter Sigmund Gleismüller.

Altar panel from Mörlbach: Annunciation to the shepherds

The panels of the Annunciation altar in the church of St. Stephan in Mörlbach come from the master of Mörlbach . The panels of the Catherine Altar in the former abbey church of the Abbey of Attel (now the parish church of St. Michael) are ascribed to him.
