Master of the Aachen Altar
The notname Master of the Aachen Altar is given to an anonymous late gothic painter active in Cologne between 1495 and 1520〔Marita to Berens-Jurk, ''Der Meister des Aachener Altars.'' Mainz 2002, passim.〕 or 1480 and 1520,〔Herta Lepie, Georg Minkenberg, ''Die Schatzkammer des Aachener Domes'', Brimberg, Aachen 1995, ISBN 3-923773-16-1, p. 47.〕 named for his master work, the Aachen Altar triptych owned by the Aachen Cathedral Treasury. Along with the Master of St Severin and the Master of the legend of St. Ursula he is part of a group of painters who were active in Cologne at the beginning of the sixteenth century and were Cologne's last significant practitioners of late gothic painting.
== Style ==
Like all the painters of Cologne in the second half of the fifteenth century, the Master of the Aachen Altar cannot be identified with any of the artists named in archives of the period. Since sure dates and sources are almost entirely lacking, works must be attributed by means of stylistic comparisons.
What distinguishes his work from his contemporaries is the vigorous temperament which he invested in his images. This manifests in the restless movement of his figures, densely packed scenes, turbulent compositions, rich oppositions, atmospheric landscapes, contemporary architectural themes, and the brightness of his colours. Surprising, often drastic external influences characterise his work, such as the naturalistic depictions of the symptoms of a syphilitc man〔Egon Schmitz-Cliever, ''Die Darstellung der Syphilis auf dem sogenannten Aachener Altarbild der Kölner Malerschule (um 1510)'' in ''Archiv für Dermatologie und Syphilis.'' Vol. 192 Nr. 2 (1950) pp. 164–174, .〕 and a child with Down syndrome on the Aachen altar.
In his depiction of individuals, the Master of the Aachen Altar demonstrates an ability to create individualised portraits, as in the lifelike depiction of the establisher of a Stift on the reredos in Liverpool, as well as the depiction of Johann von Melem the Younger, the son of the Cologne-born Patrician of Frankfurt Johann von Melem. This image is now on display in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and is usually ascribed to the Master of the Aachen Altar. That Johann von Melem the Younger, as well as his father-in-law, the Mayor of Cologne and wholesale merchant Hermann Rinck were among the painter's clients in addition to creating the Aachen Altar for a Carmelite religious order and a wall painting for the Cologne family of Hardenrath, shows the high esteem which the Master of the Aachen Altar enjoyed.
