Kriechbaum, Martin#

Kriechbaum, Martin, painter and sculptor, originally from Munich. Possibly a student of N. Gerhaert van Leyden and worked with him in Vienna and Wiener Neustadt. There is evidence that he worked in Passau from 1473, where he ran a big workshop with his sons Stefan and Sebastian. From his great number of works, none has been preserved or can be identified clearly. He created altars for the monastery at Waldhausen (Upper Austria; 1488; lost), St. Paul at Passau (1495; burnt down) and Maria Laach (Lower Austria; 1518; lost). In 1472/73 he and his brother Ulrich were commissioned to create a winged altarpiece for the monastery at Goettweig (Lower Austria; 1510). It might be the one now kept at Mauer bei Melk (Lower Austria). The altars at Zwettl (Lower Austria) and Kefermarkt (Upper Austria) have also been ascribed to the Kriechbaum workshop; however, there is no clear evidence that K. was responsible for the altar at Kefermarkt.
