The Munich altarpiece of the Death of the Virgin, by the master or Joos van Cleve the Elder. On the wings: Saints George and Nicasius, with the donors Nicasius and Georg Hackeney. Saints Christina and Gudula, with the wives of the donors, Christina and Sybilla Hackeney.

The Master of the Death of the Virgin was an Early Netherlandish painter active between 1507 and 1537. He is believed to be responsible for a large group of paintings; two of these are altarpieces of the Death of the Virgin, one in Cologne and one in Munich, from which his name is derived. He is sometimes, but not universally, identified with Joos van Cleve. Nothing further appears to be known about him.
