Matthias Grunewald
Matthias Grunewald (c1470-1528) is one of the greatest figures
in German Renaissance art. The visionary character of his work,
with its expressive colour and line, is in stark contrast to Albrecht
Durer's.
His real name was Mathis Gothart Niethart. A seventeenth-century
writer mistakenly identified him by the name Grunewald, his
real name was not discovered till the 1920s. He was born in Wurzburg
in the 1470s. He served as court painter and engineer to two successive
archbishops of Mainz from about 1510 to 1525. He left this post
apparently because of Lutheran sympathies. Grunewald died in
Halle in 1528.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
