## Commentary

Schongauer was the leading master of the South German late Gothic who became artist under the influence of Rogier van der Weyden. He produced a large number of engravings and drawings and through them he exerted great influence on the young Dürer. The Holy Family shows an independent artist in spite of the Flemish character of the painting.
