The Master of the Life of the Virgin, in German the Meister des Marienlebens, (working ca. 1463 — ca. 1490), is the pseudonym given to a late Gothic German painter working in Cologne. He can also be known as the Master of Wilten, or Johann van Duyren, an identification not universally accepted.[1]

His workshop is identified by his masterwork, a series of eight depictions of conventional scenes from the Life of the Virgin Mary, painted for the Ursulakirche, Cologne; seven are in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, and one in the National Gallery, London, who also have the four outer panels from an altarpiece from Werden, whose central panel appears to be lost.[2] Further works recognizable by their style and handling are the Crucifixion of Christ for the hospital chapel, Bernkastel-Kues; the Adoration of the Magi in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg; and the Crucifixion and Deposition of Christ at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne.

Through the detectable influence of Netherlandish painters including Dirk Bouts and Rogier van der Weyden, it is generally suggested that he must have received some training in the Low Countries.

Though his name is unknown, through his paintings he has become the most celebrated Late Gothic painter of the Cologne School. His elegant figural style is well enough known that his considerable influence can be detected in the work of other painters in Cologne.

He is not to be confused with another 13th-century Norwegian "Master of the Life of the Virgin", the late 15th-century Venetian "Master of the Louvre Life of the Virgin,"[3][4] or the three artists each known as the Master of the Death of the Virgin.

[de] Meister des Marienlebens

Der Meister des Marienlebens ist ein Notname, mit dem ein um 1473 bis 1495 in Köln entstandener Werkkomplex spätgotischer Tafelgemälde bezeichnet wird, der Anregungen der niederländischen Ars Nova und der lokalen Kölner Malertradition aufgreift. In enger örtlicher, zeitlicher und stilistischer Verbindung stehen dazu weitere Tafelgemälde, die unter den Notnamen Meister der Lyversberger Passion (tätig ab 1463) und Meister der Georgslegende angesprochen werden. Um wie viele Künstler und Werkstätten es sich dabei konkret handelt, ist nicht ganz klar. Die Künstler haben die Kunstproduktion der Kölner Malerschule in ihrer aktiven Zeit entscheidend geprägt.
