Master of the Pähl Altarpiece: Crucifixion of Christ
The Master of the Pähl Altarpiece (German: Meister des Pähler Altars) was an anonymous Gothic painter, known for the winged altar or triptych he painted for in Pähl in the Weilheim-Schongau district of Bavaria at the end of the 14th century. The triptych is now in the Bavarian National Museum.[1]
The Master of the Pähl Altar shows a style of painting influenced by Bohemian masters such as the Master of the Wittingau Altarpiece.[2]
