The Master of Meßkirch (German: Meister von Meßkirch; active c. 1515 - 1540) was an anonymous German Renaissance painter. ==Biography== The so-called Master of Meßkirch is named after the eleven altarpieces (one main altarpiece and ten auxiliary ones) he painted for the Stiftskirche St. Martin in Meßkirch between 1536 and 1540. His birthplace and apprenticeship are unknown, but a majority of scholars believe that he studied under an artist from the circle of Albrecht Dürer. Hans von Kulmbach and Hans Leonhard Schäufelein are especially likely candidates.〔Gert von der Osten, Horst Vey (1969). ''Painting and Sculpture in Germany and the Netherlands, 1500 to 1600''. Penguin Group, ISBN 0-14-056031-9. Pages 217-18〕 His work also resembles that of the Ulm school, so it is possible that he received training there. From the 1530s onwards his works seem to display familiarity with contemporary northern Italian painting. Hans Baldung Grien was also influential to his work.〔 Early on he worked for Count Eitel Friedrich III of Hohenzollern in Veringenstadt. Later he was called to Meßkirch to work for Count Gottfried Werner von Zimmern. Throughout the master's career his figures had Manneristic proportions. While early on his colors were bright and iridescent, his coloration became calmer and more muted in his last years.〔 His most important works include: *The Falkenstein Altarpiece (1525) *Frescoes from the choir of the Cistercian abbey in Heiligkreuztal (1532–35) *The altarpieces for Stiftskirche von St. Martin, from which more than 40 panels have been separated and are held in the collections of European and American museums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Master of Meßkirch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
