Identification with the Strüb family of artists

In earlier publications, Hans Dieter Ingenhoff had equated the master from Sigmaringen with the brothers Hans and Jakob Strüb from Veringenstadt . A later interpretation of the identity of the masters from Sigmaringen is based on the entire Strüb family, named in research as the four painters Peter Strüb the Elder with his sons Jakob, Hans and Peter the Younger. The Strüb family's religious painting art is considered to be influenced by the Ulm style and was close to Zeitblom, Strigel, Schongauer and Dürer. The Strübs lived in Veringenstadt at the foot of the Kirchberg from 1360 (or 1417) to 1540. The Strübhaus , the former home and workshop of the Strüb family of painters, now houses a museum of medieval painting.

In terms of art history, however, not only the works of the masters of Sigmaringen , but also those of the masters of Veringen and the masters of Messkirch are ascribed to the Strübs . The art historian Bernd Konrad differentiates between four chronological style groups of the Strübwerke, in which, among other things, the development of spatial treatment becomes visible. Although the entire work is consistent, it cannot be attributed to one painter alone, but rather to an entire workshop. For example, it is certain that Jakob and Hans Strüb had worked equally in Inzigkofen .
