Matthias Grünewald
1470 – 1528
Matthias Grünewald (original name Mathis Gothardt Neithardt), one of the greatest German painters of his age, whose works on religious themes achieve a visionary expressiveness through intense colour and agitated line. The wings of the altarpiece of the Antonite monastery at Isenheim, in southern Alsace (dated 1515), are considered to be his masterpiece. Although it is commonly agreed that Master Mathis was born in the German city of Würzburg, the date of his birth remains problematic.
