• Resumen

  • The redating of the so-called Rajhrad altarpieces on the basis of new archival evidence has led to the revision of the life of the Master of Raigern and over 60 Bohemian panel paintings from the first two thirds of the 15th century. New archival material now dates the altarpiece to around 1450, as opposed to 1415–20, as previously thought. The altarpiece, together with St James's Altarpiece and the panel from Nám̌ěst', can be attributed to a painter who learned his trade in Prague before 1440 and who traveled to Vienna and Munich around that date. The painter worked for a circle of followers of the new king, Ladislas Postumus, in the years after 1450. He worked in a style that can be labelled radical historical orientation: a style demanded by the specific situation of a Bohemian society of the 1440s and 1450s that was in need of legitimation through art.
