Peter Gottlandt Rodelstedt

Peter Gottlandt Rodelstedt , actually Peter Rodelstedt from Gottlandt ; also Peter Rodelstedt , Peter Rodelstet , Peter Rodelstet, called Gottland , Peter Gottlandt or Peter the painter (verifiable from 1548 to 1572 in Saxony ) was a German painter , engraver and shape cutter. It probably came from the island of Gotland in Sweden.

He was a student of Lucas Cranach the Elder. Ä. and worked for a while in his workshop. He was married (probably since 1549) to a woman who was widowed and died in 1569. On October 8, 1549, the painter asked Elector Johann Friedrich for assistance in decorating the wedding , which he personally signed with "Peter Roddelstet painter from Gottlandt". In 1553 Johann Friedrich appointed him his court painter and thus Cranach's successor. A number of prints by him with portraits of Saxon dukes and depictions of the Reformation have survived. In addition, he was assigned a few paintings that are stylistically close to the Cranach School.

In addition to painting, he also worked as a copper engraver. He created an allegory based on Cranach from the Old and New Testaments. Twelve copperplate engravings by him have survived, which are extremely rare.
