b. 1430

Austrian 15th Century is a Renaissance artist. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist left only fragments, but they’re sharp little daggers: vivid pen strokes, inked blood on stone, Judith’s blade flash-frozen mid-swipe. They painted Bible scenes like headlines, Judah stoning a man, Gideon’s army whittled down to a handful, Esau’s birthright traded for a bowl. Look at Judith Killing Holofernes in the National Gallery’s corner and you’ll see why: every line feels like a held breath.
