Master of the Benediktbeuren Crucifixion
Master of the Benediktbeuren Crucifixion is a Northern Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
This artist painted a single, striking panel of a Crucifixion dated 1455. The scene shows Christ on the cross with mourners below, all under a bright gold-leaf sky. The figures have simple, strong outlines and rich reds, blues, and greens against a flat gold background.
The style belongs to the late Middle Ages, when artists layered bright colors and gold leaf to show heaven and earth. Tap the Crucifixion panel to zoom in on the details of the figures and the gold background.
