Meister von Uttenheim#
Meister von Uttenheim, panel painter, worked in South Tirol around 1460/80. So called after the painting from the Church of the Holy Virgin at Uttenheim showing the Virgin enthroned with St. Margaret and St. Barbara (ca. 1470, Oesterreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna). Probably worked with Michael Pacher and Friedrich (see) Pacher. Along with the panels in the Oesterreichische Galerie, the Master of Uttenheim was also the author of two altarpieces for the monastery at Neustift near Brixen (South Tirol, now Bressanone, Italy). Also believed to have crafted the Altar of Moulins (ca. 1470, Moulins, France), which was probably created for the Cathedral of Brixen. His work shows considerable Dutch and Italian influences as well as keen interest in perspective.
