The Master of Life
The Master of Life (German:
Der Herr des Lebens) is a 1920 Austrian silent drama film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Karl Ehmann, Liane Haid and Max Neufeld.
Master of the Legend of the Magdalen
The Master of the Legend of the Magdalen( sometimes called the Master of the Magdalen Legend) was an Early Netherlandish painter, active from about 1483 to around 1527.
He has not been identified; his name of convenience is derived from a large, now- dispersed altarpiece with scenes from the life of Mary Magdalene, which has been dated to between 1515 and 1520 based on the costumes of the donor portraits.
However other works attributed to him are extremely difficult to date with any accuracy.
Many paintings have been linked with the triptych, which is thought to have been finished late in the artist's career.
Other major works include his two Magdalen panels in London.
He is not to be confused with the" Master of the Mansi Magdalen"( fl.? Antwerp, c. 1515 – 25) or the Magdalen Master( fl. Florence, c. 1265–90).
Some of his portraits suggest a possible link with artists in Brussels, and it is thought that he worked there, and headed a large workshop.
An early influence appears to have been Rogier van der Weyden; his work also shares characteristics with that of Bernard van Orley, and a link with the Master of the Death of the Virgin has been suggested.
Like van Orley, this artist is believed to have been active in the court of Margaret of Habsburg, regent of the Netherlands from 1507 until 1530.
Works ascribed to the Master are in the collections of the National Gallery, London, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
He is sometimes associated with Pieter van Coninxloo based on similarities of style, time and location.
A number of art historians, including Max Friedländer, who first made the association between the works now attributed to the Master of the Legend of the Magdalen, have speculated that they may have been the same person.
It is possible also that van Coninxloo for a time was a member of the master's workshop.
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.
Stylistically, the Master's work bears some similarities to that of the Master of the Pähl Altarpiece.
He is sometimes conflated with both the Master of the Gerona Martyrology and the Master of the Rajhrad Altarpiece, but this attribution is not universally accepted.
Jacob Fleck
Jacob Fleck (8 November 1881 in Vienna as Jacob Julius Fleck – 19 September 1953, also in Vienna) was an Austrian film director, screenwriter, film producer and cameraman.
He is noted for his long-standing professional partnership with his wife Luise Fleck who co-directed his films with him.
Master of the Hartford Still-Life
The Master of the Hartford Still- Life or simply the Master of Hartford was an Italian painter in the Baroque style who worked in Rome from the 1590s to the 1610s and specialized in lavish still- lifes.
Together with the Master of the Acquavella Still- Life, he helped establish a brighter style for the Italian still- life, as opposed to the prevailing dark style of the Netherlands.
Master of the Gerona Martyrology
The Master of the Gerona Martyrology was a Bohemian painter active at the end of the fourteenth century.
His output is fairly poorly known; some historians have conflated him with either the Master of Ambrass or the Master of the Rajhrad Altarpiece.
This view is not universally accepted, and a number of museums have work believed to be by members of his studio, including pieces of illuminated manuscripts.
Master of the Bamberg Altar
The Master of the Bamberg Altar(" fl". ca. 1420- 1440) was a German painter active in the Nuremberg area.
His name is derived from an altarpiece depicting scenes from the Passion, painted in 1429 for the Franciscan church in Bamberg; this may be seen today in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich.
Stylistically, the painting appears to be descended from the work of the Nuremberg Master of the Altarpiece of the Virgin.
The Master collaborated with the Master of the Imhoff Altar in the creation of the eponymous altarpiece; his depiction of the" Man of Sorrows" with the Virgin and Saint John forms the reverse panel.
This is a characteristic example of his solemn and simple style.
Another, more restrained work is the" Man of Sorrows Standing with the Virgin", today in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum.
The Master of the Bamberg Altar seems to have depended strongly on facial types and figure styles derived from Bohemian painting; he seems especially to have known the work of the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece, although his figures are more block- like and solid and less elegant than those of the latter artist.
He would appear to be moving away from the International Gothic and towards a more Italian- derived style, based especially on work from Altichiero.
Among the local artists who appear to have derived some of their style from the Master is Sebald Bopp.
Master of the Saint Augustine Altarpiece
The Master of the Saint Augustine Altarpiece( sometimes called the Master of the Augustinians' Altarpiece) was a German painter active in Nuremberg during the second half of the 15th century.
His work indicates familiarity with the work of both Martin Schöngauer and the Master of the Housebook.
Master of the Cappella Medici Polyptych
The Master of the Cappella Medici Polyptych( sometimes called the Master of Terenzano) was an Italian painter active between about 1315 and 1335.
Identified in the twentieth century by Bernard Berenson as the Master of Terenzano, the Master was renamed for a polyptych from his hand, dating to the 1320s, that originally stood in the Medici Chapel of the church of Santa Croce in Florence.
The panels, half- length depictions of saints, have since been separated, and are used as pinnacles for the altarpiece on the high altar of the same church.
It would appear that the Master was well respected, even if he occupied a modest position in local artistic circles.
He forms part of a line of artists, beginning with the Master of Saint Cecilia and continuing through Pacino de Bonaguida, whose work bears the influence of Giotto even as it stands in contrast.
Similar painters, who have been described as being of the" miniaturist tendency", were best known for their work on illuminated manuscripts; nevertheless, the Master of the Cappella Medici Poliptych is known only through a donzen panel paintings.
Among these is a large" Crucifix" in Stuttgart, as well as smaller works, such as a" Virgin and Child Enthroned with Four Saints"( once part of a portable altarpiece, now separated and found in Detroit).
Based upon the limited evidence of these works, the Master likely trained in Pacino's workshop at some point during the second decade of the fourteenth century.
His figures are generally timid- looking and doll- like, and reveal a kinship with the younger and more prolific Master of the Dominican Effigies; so similar are their works that the two were initially confused, and it is still believed that they may have worked together.
A debt to Giotto may be seen in some works; from the 1320s on his style betrays knowledge of the work of Jacopo del Casentino and Bernardo Daddi.
Unlike the latter, however, he had little success in adapting his training in smaller genres to the large- scale style of Giotto.
Master of the Assisi Choirbooks
The Master of the Assisi Choirbooks was an Italian manuscript illuminator active during the last quarter of the thirteenth century.
Umbrian or Roman in origin, he is associated with work done for the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi; he seems to have known Cimabue's work for that church, and his work also indicates the influence of both the Master of the San Lorenzo Choirbooks and the Master of the Deruta- Salerno Missals.
