Wilm Dedeke

Wilm Dedeke (b. 1460 in Lübeck, d. 1528 in Hamburg) was a late gothic painter from Northern Germany.

Dedeke completed the Altar of St. Luke (Lukas-Altar) at the Hamburg Mariendom in 1499 for the Hamburg Guild of Saint Luke. It had been left unfinished by his late colleagues Hinrik Bornemann and Absolon Stumme; Dedeke married the widow of the latter man. In 1502 he attained the title of Master of the Brotherhood of St. Thomas.^[1]
