Hermann Schadeberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Schadeberg or Hermann von Basel worked as a painter and glass painter from 1399 to 1449. He is also said to have created illustrations for books.

Schadeberg was first mentioned in a document in Strasbourg in 1399, probably coming from Basel. At that time he was already in high regard in Strasbourg and in 1410 was elected by the guild of goldsmiths and sign painters to their large council. However, none of his paintings is known for certain, although some information is given in surviving account books.

Based on a comparison of documents in the Strasbourg archives, he has been seen as the master of the Colmar Crucifixion since 2008, who created one of the first panel paintings north of the Alps with his picture of the Crucifixion in 1410 or 1415. The attribution to Schadeberg, who can be shown to have worked as an artist in Strasbourg around this time, is the result of a long series of attempts to identify the creator of this work, also known as the Dominican Crucifixion .

Schadeberg is also said to have provided templates for glass windows in Strasbourg churches.
