!!!Meister von Laufen

Meister von Laufen, painter. Worked in Salzburg approx. 1435 - after 
1464. A typical representative of the coarse realistic style of the 
mid-15th century; probably worked together with the Meister of the 
Halleiner Altar (Master of the altar at Hallein). His later work 
contains elements from Viennese and Bohemian painting as well as from 
the art of C.  Laib. He is named after a Crucifixion panel with three 
figures in the courtyard of the presbytery at Laufen (around 1435/40). 
Further works by him are kept in the Joanneum at Graz (legend of 
Helena, around 1440/45), at the monastery at St. Florian (Crucifixion, 
around 1440/50) and at the Oesterreichische Galerie Belvedere in 
Vienna (Bearing of the cross, Crucifixion, around 1450).
