Konrad Witz (1400-1445) The Synagoge jrt (~1435) Öffentliche Kunstsammlung, Basel
Witz's earliest paintings are done on oak panels-also used by Netherlandish painters-but his later ones are on pine or fir. His paintings were attributed variously to such painters as "Giotto", "Guido da Siena", "Franco-Burgundian School", and "Follower of Geertgen tot Sint Jans", until 1896. In that year the Curator of the Basel Museum, Daniel Burckhardt grouped paintings by the same hand, some of which were in museums and others still in private collections. He recognized the Geneva Altarpiece as a work by the same person, and noted its prominent inscription "Magister Conradus de Basilea".
