Biography

Austrian painter. A small painted oeuvre of this master was first established around the Death of the Virgin that was commissioned for the Lower Austrian Redemptoristenkloster in Eggenburg. His other extant paintings are from altarpieces devoted to St Wenceslas and to St John the Baptist. The master's origin are unknown. He may have assisted, or more likely, merely known the work of the Master of Herzogenburg, a late fifteenth-century painter from northern Lower Austria, who worked in 1491 in Gars am Kamp, Waldviertel.
