Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece

[1] His name is derived from the Třeboň Altarpiece from the church of Saint Eligius at the Augustinian convent of Třeboň (known in German as "Wittingau").

[2] It has been dated to around 1380,[3] and is today held at the Convent of St. Agnes branch of the National Gallery in Prague.

[2] Stylistically, the master seems to have been aware of French painting;[2] in addition.

He created the so-called "beautiful style", a Bohemian variant of the International Gothic style in which figures are placed in deep settings and modeled with chiaroscuro; such intensity had never before been seen in Bohemian art, but would be prominent in the work of future generations of artists.

The painter is also responsible for an Adoration of the Child in the castle of Hluboká Castle and a Crucifixion and a St. Mary of the Altar of Heaven in Prague; the latter is one of the first known Bohemian paintings to be displayed with a decorated frame as part of the composition.
