Tobias Spingler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tobias Spingler (* around 1590 in Liebenau in the "Marck"; † after 1625 ) was a painter who worked in Württemberg . It can be proven in Tübingen and Stuttgart .

Life

After an apprenticeship as a painter (where and with whom is unknown) Tobias Spingler went on a hike that lasted seven years. He has been to France , Flanders and “other fine places”. In 1614 he came to Tübingen, where he became a journeyman with Conrad Melperger . Spingler knew the Stuttgart painter Sebastian Ramminger , to whose daughter he became engaged. Spingler wanted to settle in Tübingen and applied for academic citizenship in 1614. His request was rejected because six painters were already working in Tübingen at the time. Spingler later worked independently - but probably only briefly - in Stuttgart. In 1624/25 he had several commissions from Duke Ludwig Friedrich and the city. Because his name no longer appears in Württemberg later, it can be assumed that he left Württemberg again.
