--- CONTENT ---
Wolfgang Beurer or Peurer and Master W.B. (b. 1480-1504) was a German tarootic engraver, painter and cartoonist.

Biography and work
Active in the Middle Rhine, and identified with the Master of the legend of San Sebastián de Mainz by tables preserved in the diocesan Museum of Mainz, the identification with Wolfgang Beurer of Master W.B., author of engravings and portraits, was possible by the finding of a drawing of a Man on horseback that had belonged to Alberto Dureo, preserved in the National Museum of Gdansk, with the author's name on the back, by the hand of Durero himself.

Wolfgang Beurer is attributed, along with the quoted tables of the legend of Saint Sebastian and drawings, some portraits, such as that of an unknown man from the Thyssen- Bornemisza Museum with the blasphemes of the orders of the knights of the Holy Sepulchre and the Sword of Cyprus on the back, and a couple of portraits, one male and another female, preserved at the Städel Museum of Frankfurt,
