Bernt Notke

Bernt Notke (c. 1440–1509) was the leading late Gothic sculptor and painter of the Baltic region. He possibly trained in Flanders before settling in Lübeck in the 1460s, where he ran an altarpiece and sculpture workshop.

His works include Lübeck Cathedral's triumphal cross and a Saint George and the Dragon, commissioned by Sten Sture after Brunkeberg and unveiled in 1489. He lived in Stockholm in 1491–1497, serving as Sweden's mint master, and died in Lübeck in 1509.
