Artist
South German 15th Century

1480–1490
South German 15th Century was a Renaissance artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This South German artist from the late 1400s made drawings on paper and carved wooden sculptures. Their surviving works include Christ Kneeling in Prayer, a delicate ink drawing on pink paper, Sappho in black and gray wash, and The Holy Kinship, a polychromed wood sculpture. These pieces show the careful linework and religious themes common in late medieval German art.
Tap Christ Kneeling in Prayer to see how they balanced detail and emotion on a small sheet of paper.
