Artist
German 14th Century
1325–1350
German 14th Century was an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist doodled saints like they were your neighbor’s kids. They drew a boy standing calm with a leafy branch, no fancy robes, just a regular kid holding a twig. Flip to the Coronation of the Virgin in the NGA’s medieval room and you’ll see tiny crowned figures with the same loose, scratchy ink lines as the doodles.
Why it matters: tap the Standing Youth with a Branch to see how a 14th-century sketchbook looked like a modern teenager’s notebook.
