Stefan Lochner

Stefan Lochner (c. 1410–1451) was one of the most important painters of the German Gothic and Early Renaissanceperiods, active in Cologne. Renowned for his luminous colors, delicate detail, and graceful figures, Lochner blended the elegance of International Gothic with the emerging naturalism of the Northern Renaissance.

His most celebrated work is the Altarpiece of the City Patron Saints (Cologne Cathedral), admired for its radiant color and devotional power. Other notable paintings include the Madonna of the Rose Bower and The Last Judgment. Lochner’s mastery of fine detail and jewel-like surfaces influenced later German masters such as Albrecht Dürer.
