Berthold Landauer
Berthold Landauer (sometimes given as Berchtold) (fl. 1396, d. 1430/1432) was a German painter active in Nuremberg. His name is first mentioned in civic registers, tax lists, and municipal accounts in 1396. In that year he was accepted as a citizen, taking a civic oath under the title of "painter". Tax registers of the St. Sebaldus district record that a "Berholdpainter" lived there; according to an entry in 1408's edition of the '' Harnischbuch'', "Berchtold painter" was required to provide a suit of armor upon his conscription into the military. In 1413 is seen the name "Berchtold Landauer" for the first time. In 1421 the master was listed for the first time as a householder. Landauer is known to have married, and to have had three sons; the eldest, Marcus (d. 1468), is included in the recruitment list of 1429 as "Marcus painter". He was dead by 1432, in which year a letter from Sebald Schreyer, master of the church of St. Sebaldus Sebaldus (or Sebald) was an Anglo-Saxon ...

Master Of The Imhoff Altar
The Master of the Imhoff Altar (''fl''. c. 1410–1420) was a German painter. His name comes from an altarpiece, dating to between 1418 and 1422, commissioned by Konrad Imhoff for the Lorenzkirche in Nuremberg. Only the central panel, depicting the ''Coronation of the Virgin'', and the wings, depicting several apostles, are still preserved in the church, albeit partially disassembled. On the inner wings, flanking the Coronation, may be found a donor portrait of the donor with three of his four wives. Originally the back of the altarpiece held an image of Christ as the Man of Sorrows, with the Virgin Mary and Saint John. This piece, which has since been removed to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, is now believed to be the work of the Master of the Bamberg Altar. It is believed by some historians that the Master of the Imhoff Altar is also the so-called Master of the Deichsler Altarpiece, whose work is known from two surviving altarpiece wings in Berlin.

14th-century Births
The 14th century lasted from 1 January 1301 (represented by the Roman numerals MCCCI) to 31 December 1400 (MCD). It is estimated that the century witnessed the death of more than 45 million lives from political and natural disasters in both Europe and the Mongol Empire. West Africa experienced economic growth and prosperity. In Europe, the Black Death claimed 25 million lives wiping out one third of the European population while the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France fought in the protracted Hundred Years' War after the death of King Charles IV of France led to a claim to the French throne by King Edward III of England. This period is considered the height of chivalry and marks the beginning of strong separate identities for both England and France as well as the foundation of the Italian Renaissance and the Ottoman Empire. In Asia, Tamerlane (Timur), established the Timurid Empire, history's third largest empire to have been ever established by a single conquero ...

15th-century German Painters
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian calendar dates from 1 January 1401 (represented by the Roman numerals MCDI) to 31 December 1500 (MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the " European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon. Financial troubles in England following the conflict resulted in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. The conflicts ended with the defeat of Richard III by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth Field, establishing the Tudor dynasty in the later part of the century. Constan ...
