Stephan Lochner (c. 1410 Meersburg on Lake Constance?-1451 Cologne) can be placed from 1442 onward in Cologne, where he was a major representive of the School of Cologne. Starting in Constace he moved down the Rhine, possibly spending some time in the Netherlands. In 1447 he became a city councilman in Cologne, Where he had a large workshop. Lochner developed a highly independent, soft style based on the paintings of his contemporary Jan Van Eyck as well as on preivious works in the Cologne tradition. Spatial and Plastic images and realistic details are characteristic of his lyrically sensitive paintings. Lochner united the realistic tendencies of southern German art with the idealism of the late Gothic in Cologne in a unique fashion. His works include The Last Judgement, c. 1435, Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, Cologne; The Trinity Altarpiece, c. 1442, Cologne Cathedral; and Bringing Gifts to the Temple, 1447, Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt.
