About this artist

This unsigned painter captured 16th-century Strasbourg life in small oils. Their brush traced local fashion and faces—look at “Mädchen in Straßburger Bürgertracht” where a young woman’s lace collar and green dress freeze the era, or “Bildnis der Frau Schlömer,” a woman turned slightly toward us in quiet detail. Another portrait, “Brustbild eines jungen Mannes,” pins a sitter’s collar and serious gaze to the same moment. Tap into the next work and see the men in “Bildnis des Herrn Schlömer” meet their wives in the same room years later.
