Portrait of South German 17th Century

1600–1650

South German 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist made drawings and small sculptures in 17th-century southern Germany. Two works here show their hand: the sketch The Judgment of Paris, done in brown ink and chalk on paper, and the tiny ivory carving Adam and Eve. Both sit squarely in the period’s tradition of religious and classical scenes, where artists turned Bible stories and myths into small, precise objects. Tap The Judgment of Paris to zoom in on the fine lines and delicate shading.
