MASTER OF FRANKFORT, flourished between 1500 and 1520. German school ; his works have been erroneously attributed to Konrad Fyol.

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.

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.
