MASTER OF FRANKFORT, flourished between 1500 and 1520. German school ; his works have been erroneously attributed to Konrad Fyol. "Works : Adoration of Magi, Antwerp Museum ; Crucifixion, Stii- del Gallery, Frankfort ; Holy Family, Frank- fort Museum ; Triptych with Madonna and St. Ann, Berlin Museum. Meyer, Museen, 273 ; W. & W., ii. 499. MASTER OF LIESBORN, nourished about middle of 15th century. German school ; he is known only through a great altarpiece, painted about 14C5 anil repre- senting the life and passion of Christ ; for- merly at the Abbey of Liesborn, near Mini- ster. In the two fragments now at the National Gallery, London, the heads are peaceful in expression and devout in feel- ing. The colouring is clear and agreeable, but as regards truth to nature these pict- ures are very inferior to those of contem- porary Netherlandish painters. Works : Half-length Figures of Six Saints, Anuunci- j atiou, Presentation, National Gallery, Lon- don. Forster, Denkmale, i. 5 ; Kugler (Crowe), i. 133 ; Liibke, Kunst in West- falen, 345 ; Schnaase, viii. 302 ; W. <t W., ii. 98. MASTER OF LYVERSBERG PASSION, second half of 15th century.

(2), Old Pinakothek, Munich ; Five Scenes in Life of Mary, Germanic Museum, Nuremberg ; Lyuersbery Passion, Cologne Museum ; Madonna with Saints, Berlin Museum. Kugler (Crowe), i. 131 ; do., kl.

MASTER OF THOMAS ALTAR, nour- ished in Cologne, end of 15th and begin- ning of 10th century. German school ; though influenced by the contemporaneous art of Upper Germany, this master, former- ly identified with Lucas van Leyden, and later with Christoph, an earlier painter at Cologne, was an artist of strong individual- ity. Despite the meagre forms and awk- ward motions of his mannered figures, they are not devoid of a certain grace and ex- pression.
