Johannes Ramsler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Ramsler (* probably 1590 in Tübingen ; † 1624 in Lauingen ) was a painter from Württemberg . He was a son of the painter Anton Ramsler and a younger brother of Jacob Ramsler .

Life

Johannes Ramsler was a son of the Tübingen painter Anton Ramsler and his wife Sibilla geb. Brentel. He was apprenticing to his father when he died in 1607. Johannes then went to Strasbourg , where he completed an apprenticeship with a painter. Afterwards he worked from 1612 as a journeyman for a painter in Lauingen. In 1613 he stayed temporarily in Munich , as evidenced by a surviving register sheet .

In 1616 he applied for academic citizenship in Tübingen, but was rejected. In 1617 he married Katharina Grouber, daughter of Erasmus Grouber, a citizen of Lauingen, in Tübingen. The couple had a son: Jacob Ramsler (III.) (* 1619), who became a goldsmith, and a daughter. Possibly at this time he was painting a sundial at the pharmacy in Tübingen with a Friedrich Brindel .

Despite the decree of the Neuburg Church Council published in March 1621 , which obliged all Lauingen citizens to confess at Easter and in this way urged them to convert to Catholicism, Johannes Ramsler stayed in Lauingen until his untimely death in 1624. This is unmistakably based on his mother's request Sibilla to the Senate of the University of Tübingen to support her with an advocacy in Lauingen because of the inheritance of her deceased son and the daughter she left behind (University Archives Tübingen: 2/4 fol. 129 '). (Werner Fleischhauer assumed that Ramsler left Lauingen in 1621 and died in an unknown location.)
