( fl c. 1440; d Hamburg, 1473-4). The Netherlandish style of his works presupposes an early journey to the southern Netherlands and a debt to Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin and the Master of Girart de Roussillon. Bornemann's small panel with the Calvary (c. 1440; Bremen, Roseliushaus) was the first north German work to follow the new realism of van Eyck. Instead of the usual gold ground, light plays around the figures, who are dressed in richly jewelled garments. The bodies are stocky, if somewhat two-dimensional, and Bornemann has attempted to create a three-dimensional landscape, even if the forms are still generalized.
