Master of Vyšší Brod -  the Master of Hohenfurth (active around 1350)

• Was a Bohemian painter active around 1350.
• It seems likely that he was from Prague originally.
• An altarpiece for the Cistercian convent of Vyšší Brod, from which his name is derived, may still be seen in Prague.
• Datable to around 1350, the painting, whose panels are now disbanded, depicts the Infancy of Christ along with scenes from the Passion.
• The scenes depicting the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi and the Resurrection are ascribed to the Master's hand, while other portions are believed to be the product of his studio.
• Paintings, including the Madonna of Kladsko, the Kaufman Crucifixion (both of which are held in Berlin), the Madonna of Vyšehrad, and the Madonna of Veveří, have been assigned to the Master on the basis of style.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Master of Vyšší Brod, Resurrection, c. 1350.
