Michael Scharbe
Michael Scharbe (* 1650 in Cottbus , Electorate of Brandenburg ; † 1723 in Lübben , Niederlausitz , Electorate of Saxony ) was a German painter who designed altar paintings and interior decoration in some churches in Niederlausitz.
Life
Since 1679 Scharbe created altar paintings and painted pulpits, wooden baptismal fonts, a baptismal angel and galleries in various churches in Lower Lusatia. He died in Lübben in 1723, and there was an elaborately designed tombstone in the churchyard there.
