Absolon Stumme

Absolon Stumme († 1510) was a North German painter of the Late Gothic style, who worked in Hamburg.

Life

Absolon Stumme was probably of Danish origin. He lined up with the marriage of Hans Bornemann's widow Gherburg as a second stepfather of Hinrik Bornemann in the influential Hamburg artist family, and survived him. Together with Wilm Dedeke he put the altar of St. Luke as the main work Hinrik Bornemann after his death in 1499 finished.

It is disputed who may well have been the master of Hamburg Domaltars of both. Thus, both are also associated with the Master of the Luneburg foot washing. The main altar of the aborted 1806 in the secularisation of St. Mary's Cathedral in Hamburg was saved during the demolition of the come straight to Hamburg painter Philipp Otto Runge and then came through sale first in today's Poland. He resigned in 1834, first in individual images sawed in the refectory of Malbork -up and was brought to Warsaw after the 2nd World War in 1946 to the National Museum. In the meantime, it was restored as a German -Polish joint project.

In 1497 he created a panel for the high altar of the church of St. Lawrence in Lunden, 1499 the altar in the chapel Council in Hamburg.

Dumb also be attributed to the representations of Hamburg's law.

Works

Attributed to him were in particular by Carl Georg Heise a Lamentation of Christ and the Ascension of Elijah in Luebeck St. Anne's convent.
