!!!Meister des Wiener Schottenaltars auch Schottenmeister

Meister des Wiener Schottenaltars (also: Schottenmeister), painter. 
Most important representative of Viennese painting in the third 
quarter of the 15th century (strong Dutch influence). Named after the 
former high altar at the Schottenkirche in Vienna (1469-1475), which, 
however, was not created by one artist alone. Of the original 24 
panels of the altar, 21 have been preserved in the Schottenstift 
monastery and in the Oesterreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna. He 
is famous for his detailed depictions of nature and the topographical 
precision of his background landscapes (vedutas of Vienna and Krems).
