Life

Gabriel Dachs was a son of the Strasbourg citizens Michael Dachs and his wife Susanne geb. Guy. When he had the man's rights letter issued in Strasbourg on May 23, 1585 , his parents had already died and he himself was a trained painter. It can be assumed that Dachs had already been in Stuttgart for a little longer at this time. The man's rights letter was necessary for him to be able to get married in Stuttgart and to become a citizen of this city. He may have been Hans Dorn's journeyman before that , although this is only documented later. After he had presented his man's rights letter in Stuttgart on July 21, 1585, he was able to marry in the same year. From then on he can also be found in the Stuttgart tax lists, but initially as Gabriel Bachmüller and later as Gabriel Bollinger. The name "Bollinger" was crossed out in the entry from 1590 and replaced by "Dax".

In 1590 and 1591 Dachs was mentioned several times in connection with the painting work on the interior of the new pleasure house . Originally, it was planned that he should perform three pasture scenes : Leonberger , Riedlinger and Stromberger Forst independently. In the end, Dachs did not perform any of these pasture scenes independently, he only helped his master Hans Dorn. Accordingly, Dachs was involved in the Böblinger and Nagold forests as well as the Leonberger and Tübingen forests. Dachs painted the last of these scenes largely independently from a preliminary drawing by Dorn and under his supervision. Dachs was also involved in the execution of the cornice under the hunting scenes, which Wendel Dietterlin designed and which he supervised together with Hans Steiner .

Since 1594 Dachs lived in the St. Lienhards suburb . He got a larger order from the Duke in 1595/96. The last entry in the tax book is from 1598. Dachs had to pay 1 ℔ 16 ß taxes that year .
