Kress Monogrammist

16th century

Unknown but for this Adoration of the Magi, this artist was probably active in Southwestern Germany. Part of the Monogrammist's training may perhaps have taken place in Nuremberg, since Durer provided a major source for his art; however, the painter could have learned of Durer's achievements largely through prints and those of the Kleinmeister. The Kress panel also shows the influence of Netherlandish art such as that of Joos van Cleve and Lucas van Leyden.
