Ramsler (painter family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ramsler family of painters goes back to the Dutch stone carver Gerhard Ramsler from Deventer . His son of the same name left his Dutch homeland around 1560 due to religious persecution and settled in Straubing . The fate of the family can be traced up to the middle of the 17th century. In the 17th century, the family also received a branch of theologians, to which all bearers of names living in southwest Germany and Switzerland can be traced back to.

sketch

Gerhard Ramsler soon started working as a painter and moved to Augsburg in 1570 . His son Anton , who probably did his painting apprenticeship with the Lauingen painter Georg Brentel and whose daughter Sibilla married, settled in Tübingen . He was the author of one of the two groups of professors 'portraits that formed the beginning of the Tübingen professors' gallery in 1580 . But he also worked a lot as a coat of arms painter. Anton had three sons who became painters. The most successful was the eldest son Jacob , who stayed in Tübingen. Apart from the two portraits for the professors' gallery, his work was insignificant. Like his father, Jacob Ramsler also worked as a coat of arms painter. His older son of the same name became a master silversmith, while the younger Friedrich (II.) Followed in his father's footsteps. Jacob's younger brothers Friedrich and Johannes were also painters. On the basis of the documents, only a relatively short period of life can be traced back to both of them. Only one drawing by Johannes has survived. John had a son - Jacob (II) - who worked as a goldsmith. His son of the same name continued his father's craft as a gold worker. In contrast to the artistic and handicraft family members, a younger son of Anton - Gerhard Anton (1603–1640) - founded a theological and civil servant-like family branch.

The epitaph for Samuel Friedrich Ramsler at the Uff church in Bad Cannstatt, built in 1843, has since been heavily weathered .
