Niklaus Bluntschli (before 1525–1605), attributed, 1556 Biography

Niklaus Bluntschli

Niklaus Bluntschli comes from a family of glass painters. A roundel from 1511 for the St. Gall abbot Diethelm Blarer is considered to be his first work. In 1556 he designed several panes of glass for the “Red Sword” inn, which belonged to his cousin Jakob Bluntschli. Since Niklaus Bluntschli was considered a secret Catholic, he rarely received commissions from the city of Zurich, but he was popular in Catholic areas. In 1566 he became a member of the Meisenzunft, in 1568 bailiff of the Schänis monastery. The works for the cloister of Tänikon monastery, which are considered to be his most important, are scattered today. His roundels are still in their original location in the Wettingen monastery.
