...late 19th century, and not until this year did scholars and the public have an opportunity to see all his works in one place. The place was Hamburg's Kunsthalle, and the occasion the celebration of its 100th anniversary. The result was the realization that Meister Francke, an altar painter who worked in Hamburg around the year 1420, has far better claim than his later compatriots, Dürer, Cranach or Grünewald, to the title of Germany's first great artist...

Gloomy Victorian clutter was stripped away, revealing priceless 17th century murals, and the neoclassic high altar was replaced by a simple modernistic sanctuary designed by De la Mora. The result is a stunning example of religious architecture...
