Master of the Berlin Passion
( fl late 15th century). German or Netherlandish engraver. He was named (Lehrs, 1889) after a Passion cycle of nine engravings, of which seven were glued in a manuscript (1482; Berlin, Kupferstichkab.) from the Lower Rhine, written in the convent of the Sisters of the Common Life at Arnheim. His long-standing identification (Geisberg, 1903) as Israhel van Meckenem (i) (see MECKENEM, (1)) has been questioned by the claims that his centre of activity was the Limbourg area (Marrow, 1978) and that he was Dutch, not German (Hollstein: Dut. & Flem.; Robels in 1970 exh. cat.).
