Jakob Züberlein (born February 26, 1556 in Heidelberg , † before October 15, 1607 in Tübingen ) was a German painter .

Life

After Hans Ulrich Alt received the order from Duke Ludwig von Württemberg in the last half of the 16th century to make paintings by Tübingen professors, Jakob Züberlein signed them so that the Tübingen shape cutter Joachim Lederlin could make woodcuts on pear wood.

In 1596 the Tübingen professor and publisher Erhard Cellius published a book with 37 woodcuts by Jakob Lederlein in Tübingen. These were based on preliminary drawings by Elias Alzius and Jakob Züberlein as well as paintings by Anton Ramsler and Philipp Renlin . They show the professors then teaching in Tübingen in a frame, mostly behind a parapet and often with a book in their hands and sometimes with attributes of their discipline, often similar to the oil paintings in the Tübingen professors' gallery .

Works

Jakob Züberlein painted the Öhrn in the Tübingen town hall in 1596 , copying paintings by Heinrich Füllmaurer (1526–1546), e. B. that of a Catholic clergyman who overlooks the beam in his own eye. He also made paintings for a Bamberg church. In 1591 he had painted an oriel in the apartments of Duke Ludwig in the old castle in Stuttgart and received 130 fl . In addition, he made two monumental pictures for the premises there, for which he was paid 550 fl.
