Master of Huckarde

Master of Huckarde is a Westphalian sculptor and sculptor, who was active around 1500 in the area around Osnabrück. The artist, who was not known by name, received his nickname from the wooden figures of Pieta and Anna, which he had created. Originally from the earlier church of the Virgin Mary in Huckarde, a small village whose church was formerly a Esseness penitentiary. After the dissolution of the nineteenth-century Abbey and the transition of Huckardes into the diocese of Paderborn, the figures reached Paderborn, where they are still found today in the Diocesan Museum and Cathedral Treasury.

Master of Huckarde might have been an assistant or assistant to the master of Osnabrück to whom the wooden figures were first attributed. However, because of minor differences in the execution of the figures compared to the other works by the master of Osnabrück, they were separated from his catalog and the master of Huckarde was defined as an independent artist personality. By looking at the work of this master, it is to be possible to more precisely interpret and organize the development of late medieval sculpture in the Osnabrück area.
