Something wrong?A German Renaissance painter who refused the Renaissance. While his contemporaries chased classical balance, Grünewald doubled down on medieval anguish and ecstasy - twisted limbs, raw suffering, unearthly light. For centuries his work was credited to Dürer, his stylistic opposite.

Matthias Grünewald worked in Germany around 1470 to 1528, painting religious subjects in a late medieval idiom long after the Renaissance had swept through Italy. Only ten paintings and thirty-five drawings survive; many others sank en route to Sweden as war booty. He remained obscure for centuries, his paintings misattributed to Albrecht Dürer until the late nineteenth century - an irony, given that Dürer's clarity and classicism stand at the opposite pole from Grünewald's expressionist intensity. His largest work, the Isenheim Altarpiece, was created between 1512 and 1516. It remains his most famous: a multi-paneled devotional piece that holds nothing back.
