# MULTSCHER, Hans [View the canonical artist record]() ## Artist - Lifespan: 1400–1467 - Profession: painter - School: German ## Biography Multscher was a German sculptor active in Ulm. The solid naturalism of his style, reminiscent of Sluter, suggest that he was trained in the Netherlands or northern France. He ran a large workshop, which was influential in spreading this manner in Swabia. Paintings were integral to his altarpieces, but it is a matter for debate whether he practised painting himself. The Wurzach altar \(1437\), the only painting attributed to him by some experts, exhibits a realism nearer to contemporary Flemish than German painting. Among his most important works was the high altar for the church at Sterzing in the Tyrol \(1456-58\), part of which are now in the Multscher museum there. ## Related artworks - [Christ before Pilate \(detail\)]() - [Christ before Pilate]() - [Christ Carrying the Cross]() - [Christus before Pilate \(detail\)]() - [Holy Trinity]() - [Man of Sorrows]() - [Model of a Tomb]() - [Pentecost]() - [Prayer on the Mount of Olives]() - [Resurrection]() - [St George and St John the Evangelist]() - [Th Adoration of the Magi]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
