Erhard Reuwich - The Master of The Housebook?

The Master of The Housebook?

It was first suggested in 1937 that Reuwich should be identified as the Master of the Housebook, a painter and engraver in drypoint, the first artist to use this technique. His identification with the Housebook Master has not been generally accepted, though A. Hyatt Mayor supported it; other suggestions have been made for the identity of the Housebook Master. The trend of scholarly opinion appears to be moving against the identification.
