Matthias Grünewald (  31 August 1528 ) was a ___MASK2___ painter of religious works who ignored Renaissance classicism to continue the style of late medieval Central European art into the 16th century . His first name is also given as Mathis and his surname as Gothart or Neithardt . Only ten paintings  several consisting of many panels  and thirty - five drawings survive , all religious , although many others were lost at sea in the Baltic on their way to Sweden as war booty . His reputation was obscured until the late nineteenth century , and many of his paintings were attributed to Albrecht Dürer , who is now seen as his stylistic antithesis . His largest and most famous work is the Isenheim Altarpiece created 1506 to 1515 or perhaps 1512 to 1516 . The Northern ___MASK41___ was the ___MASK41___ that occurred in Europe north of the Alps . Before 1497 , ___MASK12___ humanism had little influence outside Italy . From the late 15th century , its ideas spread around Europe . This influenced the ___MASK2___ , French ___MASK41___ , English ___MASK41___ , ___MASK41___ in the Low Countries , Polish ___MASK41___ and other national and localized movements , each with different characteristics and strengths . The Danube School or Donau School ( German : " Donauschule " or " Donaustil ") was a circle of painters of the first third of the 16th century in Bavaria and Austria ( mainly along the Danube valley ). Many also were innovative printmakers , usually in etching . They were among the first painters to regularly use pure landscape painting , and their figures , influenced by Matthias Grünewald , are often highly expressive , if not expressionist . They show little Italian influence , and also represent a decisive break with the high finish of Northern ___MASK6___ , using a more painterly style that was in many ways ahead of its time . Augustin Hirschvogel ( 1503 -- February 1553 ) was a German artist , mathematician , and cartographer known primarily for his etchings . His thirty - five small landscape etchings , made between 1545 and 1549 , assured him a place in the Danube School , a circle of artists in sixteenth - century Bavaria and Austria .
