The Master of the Holy Kinship the Younger is a German painter of the Middle Ages who was active between 1475 and 1515 in Cologne and its environs.
[1] It was commissioned, presumably for donation to a church, by Nikasius Hackeney, a tax administrator at the Imperial Court, and includes donor portraits of him and his family.
An attempt to identify the Master as Lambert von Luytge [de], a painter who was active in Cologne at roughly the same time, was inconclusive.
The works attributed to him are rich, numerous and varied, ranging from large altarpieces to small devotional paintings and stained glass boxes.
These new trends come to full fruition in an epitaph painted for the curé Jacob Udeman von Erkelenz, in 1492.
