Joachim Deschler
Joachim Deschler (occasionally Joachim Teschler , as a result of an error by Neudörfer also Johann Teschler ; * around 1500, † after October 1, 1571 in Vienna ) was a German medalist and sculptor .
Life
Little is known about Deschler's life. The books of St. Lorenz testify that he entered into his first marriage in Nuremberg in 1532 and was married to the widow of the illuminator Nikolaus Glockendon in 1537 in his second marriage . On May 8, 1537, Deschler also received civil rights in Nuremberg . In the period between 1533 and 1547, which cannot be defined more precisely, he stayed in Italy for two years to study , probably mainly in Venice and Rome . He returned from this trip with many drawings and sketches. His first relationship with Archduke Maximilian, later Emperor Maximilian II , dates back to 1543. In 1554, when a daughter from his first marriage was married to the arithmetic master Wolff Michel, he was still in Nuremberg. Towards the end of the 1550s, however, he moved to Vienna, where Maximilian appointed him imperial court sculptor (“pilthauer und conterfetter in stain”) in 1564. He received his last fixed salary on October 1, 1571, which is why it is believed that he died in late 1571.
Small sculptures made of limestone and boxwood in the style of the German high renaissance come from Deschler's workshop , such as "a round contrafait by Albrecht Dürer ". In addition, he is best known for a whole range of artistically executed cast medals , which he used to sign with the letters I and D on the arm section of the people depicted. Among them are several regents ( Ferdinand I , Ottheinrich , Melchior Zobel von Giebelstadt ) and private individuals ( Hieronymus Baumgartner as well as other personalities from Nuremberg, Lower Franconia, Augsburg and Vienna). The coats of arms on the back of the medals show that they were based on models made from Solnhofen stone . Deschler's works are strongly influenced by Italian masters, but reveal a German artist in their genre-like ingredients. Alongside Hans Bolsterer, he is one of the most important medalists of his time.
