The Virgin in the Rose Bower

Stefan Lochner (c.1405-1451) is first recorded in Cologne in 1442 while working on the decorations in the city in preparation for a visit by Emperor Frederick III. It is likely that he studied in the Netherlands and was possibly a pupil of the Master of Flémalle. His style certainly shows that he had seen the work of the great Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. Van Eyck’s influence can by seen in the way Lochner paints the roundness of his figures. One is very much aware of their fleshy reality and the translucent delicacy of the skin – an effect obtained by the use of thin green and red glazes. However, in accordance with the late Gothic tradition that prevailed in Cologne, his figures are placed against a flat, highly decorative background.
