Jost Haller was a 15th-century Gothic painter from Alsace, active in the years 1440–1470, first established in Strasbourg, then in Metz, and in Saarbrücken.
He is also called The painter of the knights (French: Le peintre des chevaliers) [not "The painter of knights", or Le peintre de chevaliers].
[1] Haller's name was forgotten until 1980, when art historian Charles Sterling rediscovered it and put it on a number of paintings and illuminated manuscripts that were hitherto attributed to anonymous masters, most famously among them the Tempelhof Altarpiece (ca.
1445) from Bergheim, Haut-Rhin (not to be confused with the Tempelhof district of Berlin!
Haller is also thought to be the author of the fresco of Saint Michael defeating Satan, 800 cm (310 in) high and 420 cm (170 in) wide, of St Thomas' Church, Strasbourg.
