Master of the Aachen Doors

This anonymous painter from the late 1400s created small religious panels with crisp details, like the oil painting *Heilige Barbara*. They worked in a quiet, precise style common in German-speaking lands before the Renaissance fully took hold. Every fold in a robe and every candle flame looks carefully observed, as if the artist wanted you to pause and look closely. Want to see how they handled light on metal? Tap into *Heilige Barbara*.
