Hans Goldschmid

Hans Goldschmid (* before 1510, † after 1534) was a German painter .

Life

Hans Goldschmid can be traced back to Memmingen in Upper Swabia from 1510 to 1534 . He could have been the son of the painter of the same name documented in Ravensburg in 1451 . He probably belonged to the Memmingen school and worked for the Strigel workshop . It can be documented in the edition book from 1515 to 1520 by Hans Heiß, the caretaker of the parish church of Our Women . According to the entries, he worked several times as an artist in the church, where he painted, among other things, a panel for the St. Michaels Chapel. He married a daughter of Ivo Strigel . From 1520 to 1523 he litigated hot and his father-in-law. Since 1521 he owned a house in the city and had to pay taxes for it. Due to the Memmingen Reformation and the iconoclasm that resulted from it, the city council forbade him in 1534 to accept an order from the Buxheim Charterhouse . The date of his death is unknown.

Works

Four works are ascribed to him. The first, a scene of the Annunciation, similar to the corresponding scene in Dürer's Life of Mary, was dated to 1510 by J. Kitzinger from Munich. Ernst Buchner attributed a picture of the haunted scene to him in 1925. The quality of the figurative representation in this picture, however, clearly stands out from the scene of the Annunciation. It was auctioned off at Helbing in 1909 as a work by Albrecht Altdorfer . Another scene of the Annunciation attributed to him is on the altar from the Strigel workshop in the St. Veit am Bichl chapel . This picture was originally painted for the church in Engadin . The last work attributed to him is also a scene of the Annunciation and is on the outside of a winged altar at Schloss Neuenstein and is dated to 1535.
