!!!Meister von Mondsee

Meister von Mondsee, painter, worked in Salzburg in the late 15th 
century; was probably apprenticed in Vienna, his style is reminiscent 
of that of the  Master of the Schottenaltar in Vienna. He is named 
after an altar for the monastery at Mondsee commissioned by Abbot 
Benedikt Eck von Piburg (the altar was consecrated in 1497; parts of 
it are kept at the Oesterreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna and in 
the Liechtenstein collections at Vaduz). The artist still painted on a 
golden background; his endearingly realistic details are reminiscent 
of Dutch painting.
