Master of the Holy Kinship the Younger

This painter worked in 15th-century Cologne, cranking out saints with the same faces. Look closely and you’ll notice Matthias and Matthew share the same ears and nose—almost like he recycled templates. If you spot two identical gentlemen in red robes next to a very patient lamb, you’ve found their shop’s calling card. Why this artist belongs in Gallery Tiles: tap “Saints Matthias and Matthew” and compare the ears—you’ll never see a saint the same way again.
