Master E.S.

Master E.S.

▪ German engraver
flourished 1440–1468, Germany

      unidentified late Gothic German goldsmith and engraver who signed many of his engravings with the monogram E.S. and who was one of the outstanding early printmakers of Europe.

      His line engravings are especially known for their use of crosshatching and their subtlety of tonal effect. He produced over 300 prints of religious, profane, and fantastic subjects. It is believed that he came from the same Upper Rhineland region as the Master of the Playing Cards (Playing Cards, Master of the), whose influence is evident in his work. His own output also includes playing cards, but his best engravings were of religious subjects and his most popular work was “The Man of Sorrows with Four Angels.”
