The Berlin museum owns the only existing print of this small-format, historically hand-coloured engraving by the Master E. S., which shows the mother of God with the baby Jesus; both of them appear to the viewer in a fully mortal, almost intimate form. The brocade curtain behind Mary is a traditional honorific motif. The chapel space symbolically refers to the idea of Mary as the Church, the house in which Christ resided during his incarnation. The apple in the child’s left hand plays on his role in the salvation from original sin.

Master of the Joseph Sequence – Master of Affligem

The identity of Master of the Joseph Sequence, also known as Master of Affligem, remains elusive to art historians despite extensive research and stylistic analysis. Born around 1420 in Germany—likely Bruges or Antwerp—he emerged as a pivotal figure during the late Gothic period, marking a crucial transition towards Renaissance artistic sensibilities.

His fame stems primarily from his groundbreaking contribution to German printmaking. Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on illuminated manuscripts and decorative arts, Master of Affligem dedicated himself to engraving, establishing himself as the first major German artist to produce old master prints—a revolutionary innovation that profoundly impacted artistic practice across Europe.

The enigmatic monogram “e. s.” found on eighteen of his prints provides the primary basis for attribution. This distinctive mark—likely representing his initials—became a symbol of artistic experimentation and signaled a departure from traditional engraving conventions. Scholars believe he was influenced by Flemish printmakers like Lucas Cranach the Elder, whose meticulous attention to detail and expressive compositions foreshadowed the stylistic developments of the Renaissance.

Active between 1450 and 1467, Master of Affligem’s oeuvre comprises approximately sixty prints—primarily depictions of biblical scenes and portraits. His style is characterized by a remarkable realism achieved through meticulous hatching and crosshatching techniques—a masterful demonstration of engraving prowess.

Among his most celebrated works are “St. Barbara Directing The Construction Of A Third Window In Her Tower,” a poignant portrayal of faith and architectural grandeur, and “The Death Of The Virgin,” showcasing an impressive understanding of anatomy and drapery folds. Furthermore, he created “Memorial Panel With Eight Male Portraits,” which exemplifies the humanist ideals prevalent during his time—a testament to his artistic vision and enduring legacy.

Master of Affligem’s influence extended far beyond his immediate circle, inspiring numerous engravers and establishing a precedent for German printmaking. He is considered the precursor to Martin Schongauer, arguably the most influential German printmaker of the early Renaissance—a pivotal figure who cemented Germany's position as a center of artistic innovation.

His prints continue to captivate audiences today, offering invaluable insights into the artistic and intellectual landscape of fifteenth-century Europe. Master of Affligem’s pioneering spirit and unparalleled skill solidified his place in art history—a testament to his enduring contribution to Western artistic tradition.
