Commissioned for the parish church in Tiefenbronn, the altarpiece depicts scenes from the life of Mary Magdalene with a striking departure from the prevailing aesthetic norms. The altarpiece isn't just a religious narrative; it is a testament to Moser’s keen observation of human anatomy, light, and shadow. However, scholars generally agree that he was exposed to both the late Gothic traditions prevalent in Southern Germany and the emerging artistic trends emanating from Flanders.

Γερμανός Born in Μίνδεν Διεθνές Γοτικό Wikipedia in 13/32 languages
It is believed that Bertram was influenced by both French and Netherlandish artistic trends prevalent during his time. Despite these influences, Bertram maintained a uniquely Northern German sensibility, imbuing his work with a sense of regional identity. While sharing similarities with other artists of the period, such as Master Francke (another prominent Hamburg painter), Bertram's work possesses a distinct character—a subtle restraint in emotional expression compared to Francke’s more overtly dramatic approach.

The Osservanza cycle emerged around 1430-1450, a period marked by significant stylistic shifts in Siena. Influenced by the vibrant Sienese school —particularly the work of Duccio di Buoninsegna and Simone Martini —the Master nevertheless developed a distinct visual language characterized by a heightened sense of drama, emotional intensity, and an innovative use of color. His innovative use of color, dramatic composition, and psychological realism paved the way for the development of Renaissance art in Siena.
