Passion Altarpiece of St. John's Church
Passion Altarpiece of St. John's Church
around 1440
Triptych in its open state
Previously considered the earliest work of the "Master of the Tucher Altarpiece," this attribution is, however, questionable. The Italianate elements, which by no means only affect the architecture, have completely disappeared from this master's later work in the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady). An Italian-Bohemian master is conceivable for the Passion Altarpiece. It is possible that a work from around 1430 from St. Lambrecht Abbey, now in the Austrian Gallery in Vienna, represents an intermediate stage in the master's oeuvre.
