Summary

Master Paul of Levoča's artistic evolution, spanning three distinct stylistic phases, reveals a synthesis of late Gothic and Renaissance influences. The study identifies his early Nuremberg works, such as 'Christ on a Donkey,' as foundational, dated to the 1480s through comparisons with local art. His later works, including the Nativity group in Levoča and the main altar, demonstrate a creative response to Gerhaert of Leyden and Veit Stoss, blending 'gerhaertism' with an idealized divine form. A notable shift toward Renaissance motifs, like dolphins, emerges around 1516, suggesting exposure to Italianizing trends in Hungary or Venice. This transformation underscores Paul's role as a regional pioneer, influencing altarpieces in Levoča, Spišská Sobota, and Sabinov.
