Master Of The Rajhrad Altarpiece
The Master of the Rajhrad Altarpiece (sometimes called the Master of Raigern) was a Bohemian painter active in the region around Olomouc and Brno before 1420. Likely of Moravian extraction, he derives his name from an altarpiece that once hung in the church of Saint Maurice in Olomouc; since disassembled, some of its panels are now in Rajhrad. These depict scenes from the Passion and from the Legend of the True Cross, and were painted before 1420. Two scenes, the ''Transportation of the Cross'' (Image) and the ''Crucifixion'', are believed to be by his hand, while the rest are products of his studio. Also ascribed to him are the altarpiece of Náměšť, also dating to before 1420 and today found in Brno, and an ''Altarpiece of Saint Jacob'' of about 1430, today dispersed between Prague, Brno, Vienna and Nuremberg. The Master influenced the work of artists even beyond Bohemia; work by the Master of the Saint Lambrecht Votive Altarpiece indicates that his style was known ev ...

15th-century People From Bohemia
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian dates from 1 January 1401 ( MCDI) to 31 December 1500 ( MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the " European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon. Financial troubles in England following the conflict resulted in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. The conflicts ended with the defeat of Richard III by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth Field, establishing the Tudor dynasty in the later part of the century.

Crucifixion From Nové Sady (Master Of The Rajhrad Altarpiece)
Crucifixion from Nové Sady, (also referred to as the ''Crucifixion of the Rajhrad Altarpiece'', the ''Crucifixion of the Olomouc'', ''Altar of the Holy Cross'', or the ''Novosady panel'') is part of a larger altar polyptych called the ''Rajhrad Altarpiece'' (around 1440). Its author is the last important personality of Czech panel painting of the pre- Hussite period, known as the Master of the Rajhrad Altarpiece. The painting is on display in the permanent exhibition of the National Gallery in Prague. History of the painting The Master of the Rajhrad Altarpiece probably had a workshop in Prague and retreated to Moravia after the outbreak of the Hussite Wars in 1420-1440, only to return to Prague during the reign of Sigismund. The altar with the theme of the ''Adoration of the Holy Cross'', together with another Gothic altar, was intended for the church of St Maurice in Olomouc, as confirmed by written records from 1424 and 1440. From there, five panels of the altar were transf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Master Of Ambrass
The Master of Ambrass was a Bohemian painter active probably in Prague at the end of the fourteenth century. He was the creator of the ''Wiener Musterbuch'', a set of silverpoint studies and subjects all dated to the same period, which were used as models in painters' studios. Among the subjects are bust-length images of Christ, the Virgin, various saints, the Crucifixion, and the Annunciation. The pictures are collected in groups of four, affixed to fourteen small framed panels. Three independent designs also exist, depicting a philosopher and astronomer, a sibyl and John the Evangelist, and the Three Magi; these, too, were probably part of the set. Such is the realism of the designs that it is believed the Master had contact with an artist of the Franco-Flemish school. Also attributed to his hand, dubiously, is an ''Annunciation'' at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts Cambridge ( ) is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States.
