!!!Meister von Schloss Lichtenstein

Meister of Schloss Lichtenstein, painter, probably worked in Vienna 
around 1440/50. Represents the realistic style strongly influenced by 
Dutch painting that prevailed in the mid-15th century. He is named 
after two large pictures of scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary 
(Death of the Virgin, Coronation of the Virgin, around 1440/50) at 
Lichtenstein castle in Wuerttemberg. Fourteen other panels with scenes 
from the life of the Virgin have been preserved, as well as one with 
scenes from the life of Jesus (around 1445; the panels are kept at 
museums in Vienna, Philadelphia, Moscow and Warsaw). 7 panels of a 
Passion cycle (around 1440/45) have also been preserved (at 
collections at Esztergom, Basle, Augsburg and Munich). The works 
ascribed to the master were, however, created by a number of artists 
within one workshop.
