Master of Heiligenkreuz, active early (15th century)

• Was an Austrian painter.
• He was active at the beginning of the 15th century.
• His name is taken from a diptych that once belonged to the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz, located in southeastern Austria near the present-day border with Hungary.
• Stylistically, the Master's work is distinguished by use of some Gothic decorative elements, as well as oddly-proportioned figures with long, thin limbs and fingers.
