Ludger tom Ring the Younger
Ludger tom Ring the Younger (born July 19 or November 19, 1522 in Munster ; † before May or before May 22, 1584 in Braunschweig ) was a German painter from the Munsterland artist family tom Ring .
Early years
After his brother Hermann tom Ring, he was the second son of Ludger tom Rings the Elder , whose artistic talent he inherited and who also trained him. With him he traveled to Holland and England . Ludger's first surviving painting dates from the year his father died (1547) - a self-portrait that is now in the Duke Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig together with other of his works . In the period that followed, he was likely to have worked in his brother Hermann's workshop, where he was recorded in 1555, but no longer in 1557. He mainly painted portraits , depictions of animals and still lifes (especially with flowers). Where he stayed in the years up to 1568 is unknown, but there is evidence of his acquaintance with the famous Belgian cartographer Abraham Ortelius .
In Braunschweig
On January 27, 1569, tom Ring applied for citizenship in the city of Braunschweig and received it on March 27, 1572. During his time in Braunschweig, from 1569 to his death in 1584, he married the widow Ilse Bardenwerper and lived in the Weichbild Altewiek . He created a large number of portraits of Brunswick patricians and clergymen - including about a dozen depictions of married couples, some of which are now in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, and another hangs in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. He also painted in addition to mayors and councilors the reformers and superintendents of the city of Martin Chemnitz .
