The Master of the Worcester Panel, or Master of the Worcester Carrying of the Cross was a Bavarian Gothic painter, active from c.1420-c.1430.[1]

Works

The artist's notname is in reference to a panel from an altarpiece that was in the collection of the painter, Charles Henry Worcester (1864-1956) and his wife Mary, which they donated to the Art Institute of Chicago. Another panel, "Mocking Christ", is in the British Museum.[2] He may also be the creator of a "Calvary", in possession of the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.

He was a major figure in the artistic renaissance of Southern Germany and was well-known for over a century after his presumed time of death. Copies and imitations of his works may be found in Nuremberg, Nördlingen, Augsburg, Munich, Vienna, Salzburg, Wrocław and Kraków. At least three graduates of his workshop are known to have been active in Regensburg.

His own style was derived from illuminated manuscripts and he was influenced by the Master of the Saint Lambrecht Votive Altarpiece. Some influences from Northern Italy may also be detected.

Als Meister der Worcester-Kreuztragung (englisch Master of the Worcester Carrying of the Cross) wird ein namentlich nicht bekannter Maler der Gotik bezeichnet, der um 1420 oder 1430 in der bayerischen Region tätig war.[1] Sein Stil lässt vermuten, dass er auch als Buchmaler tätig war. Eventuell war er ein Schüler des Meisters der St. Lambrechter Votivtafel, der in Wien eine Werkstatt hatte.
