!!!Meister der Heiligenmartyrien

Meister der Heiligenmartyrien, painter, worked in Vienna in the late 
15th century. Probably a pupil of the master of the Crucifixion 
triptych at St. Florian. He is named after two panels depicting deaths 
of saints, which are part of a larger altar, probably created for the 
monastery at Klosterneuburg (around 1495/1500, Oesterreichische 
Galerie Belvedere in Vienna). His details and his idea of space are 
remarkably realistic; his work also shows a vivid interest in 
physiognomies. He is regarded as the forerunner of the Danube school.
