!!!Meister des Andreasaltars auch Meister des Domaltärchens, Meister der Passionsfolgen

Meister des Andreasaltars (also: Meister des Domaltaerchens, Meister 
der Passionsfolgen), painter, worked in Vienna around 1430/1450. He is 
named after an altar dedicated to St. Andreas from before 1440 (now 
kept at the Cathedral and Diocesan Museum in Vienna). In 1885, it was 
brought to St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna with the altar of Wiener 
Neustadt from Neukloster monastery at Wiener Neustadt. The working 
method demonstrates how the Soft Style gradually hardened during the 
second quarter of the 15th century and how a new realistic attitude 
towards the human body began to gain ground; the altar shows strong 
stylistic affinities to the work of the  Meister der St. Lambrechter 
Votivtafel (Master of the votive panel of St. Lambrecht). Among his 
works are also two panels depicting the Capture and Derision of Christ 
(around 1430-1440), which are exhibited in the Oesterreichische 
Galerie Belvedere).
