b. cca 1400, Rottweil, d. ca. 1445, Basel. German-born painter from Rottweil in Swabia, active in Switzerland. German painter. One of the great innovators in northern European painting, he turned away from the lyricism of the preceding generation of German painters.

His fresh approach to the natural world reflects that of the Netherlandish painters: the Master of Fl?malle and the van Eycks.
