\ATXsh255 A leading exponent of the transition from the late Gothic to the Renaissance in Souther
n Germany, he painted in a style of great formal clarity, brought to life by the incisive force of his drawing. The triptychs of \i Saint Paul\i0 and \i Saint Mary the Greater\i0 (Augsburg, Staatsgalerie) reveal the influence of Flemish models. His portra
its show acute insight (\i Portrait of a Young Woman\i0 , Lugano, Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection). A considerable change can be discerned in the \i Saint Catherine Altarpiece\i0 (1512, Augsburg, Staatsgalerie), denoting the emergence of a style of Italian deriva
tion, also visible in the \i Saint Sebastian Altarpiece\i0 (Munich, Alte Pinakothek).\ATXsh4607
