Master IAM was an early Netherlandish engraver active between about 1470 and 1495. His
St. George and the Dragon (1480-1490) caught my eye because it shows a flying dragon, a great rarity in medieval art.
He is known only by his monogram, the letters plus (sometimes) a goldsmith's drill, plus sometimes his home town of Zwolle.
The Met has a nice feature on him, from which most of this comes.
The Lamentation, c. 1475, and detail.
Christ Carrying the Cross, c. 1475, detail.
St. Christopher on Horseback, c. 1490.
