Master of Lichtenstein Castle
A Gothic painter who is not known by name and who was active around 1440 or 1450 is referred to as the master of Lichtenstein Castle . He received his emergency name after the place where two of his pictures were kept, Lichtenstein Castle above Honau in Württemberg.
The master of Lichtenstein Castle probably worked in Vienna . His work shows a relationship with the pictures of the master of the Albrecht Altar and other painters who worked there at the time. The Upper German master seems to be influenced by the contemporary style from the Netherlands and in his style already indicates the approach of a renaissance of painting. Recently, the Habsburg Archduke Albrecht VI. (died 1463) suspected.

Further pictures are assigned to the master of Lichtenstein Castle , each from a series of pictures of a life of Mary and a cycle of passion. For a long time they were assigned to the master's environment and were considered works by different artists in a joint workshop that was close to the master. But then all the traditional panel paintings were assigned to the master and recognized as pictures of a single monumental winged altar.
