Johannes Kirchring (the younger)
Johannes Kirchring the Younger (* in Oldenburg ; bl. 1630–1645 ibid) was a German scribe and painter .
Life
Johannes Kirchring was the son of the typist of the same name at the Oldenburg court, Johannes Kirchring, and learned his trade from his father, in whose house he also worked around 1630. The life dates of both are not precisely determined, so that the delimitation of the work at the time of the overlap of the effective periods is not always possible without doubt. Both worked as clerks in Oldenburg. The Complete Hymnbook written in 1637 in the estate of the Brothers Grimm is more likely to be attributed to Johannes Kirchring the Younger.
In 1637 he made a horse and a cow that were to be used as hunting mock-ups for Count Anton Günther when hunting field chickens . He painted what was then the top chamber of the women's wing in Oldenburg Castle and made designs for the painting of other rooms in the castle. In 1638, Kirchring the Younger carried out gold decorations on the Oldenburg town hall. In 1639 he delivered four trumpet flags with the count's coat of arms to the court. In 1644 he painted a Krammetsvogel (dead and alive). Due to his signature, the painting and design of the Trinity Church donated by Count Anton Günther in the Oldenburg district of Osternburg are secured for his work. This includes the calligraphic paintings on the ceiling and galleries as well as the altar. The figures of Maria and Johannes on the epitaph of Balthasar Dugend from 1645 are also attributed to him.
