Master of Worship Thyssen: The Adoration of the Magi. 1520, Donauraum. (also assigned to Wolfhuber)

A master of the worship of Thyssen is a painter who was probably active in the Bavarian or Austrian Donauraum at the beginning of the 16th century. The artist, who was not known by name, received his nickname first, according to the picture of the Adoration of the Magi painted by him in the Thyssen collection in Lugano, circa 1520. The work is now in the Monastery of Pedralbes (Spanish Monasterio de Pedralbes) near Barcelona as part of the permanent exhibition Fundación Colección Thyssen-Bornemisza.

The master of the worship Thyssen represents in his picture the three kings of the worship of the Jesus child. The work was considered before the attribution to the master as a work of the Renaissance painter Wolf Huber. In art history, however, the assignment to another independent hand was then confirmed, and a few other paintings and drawings were assigned to the anonymous artist,

The style of the master of the worship Thyssen shows the transition of Late Gothic into the enlightened humanism of the Renaissance. the more accurate consideration and natural representation of nature and e.g. Light incidence and shadow throw in the pictures. The influence of Albrecht Altdorfer and Wolfhuber is recognizable in the painting style used in worship. Single-level Edit source text Weblinks Edit sourcetext
