Scheibenriss mit Joseph und Potiphars Weib

Hieronymus Lang the elder (about 1520–1582), ascribed, um 1560 – 1570 Biography

Hieronymus Lang the elder

In Schaffhausen from 1541. In the same year he married Elsbet Kloter, and was accepted into the Boatmens guild and became a citizen of the city of Schaffhausen. In 1544 he acquired the house "Zur Löwengrube" in Münstergasse. He seems to have been the first in Schaffhausen to sign his designs for glass paintings. An extensive oeuvre of glass panels and the sketches for his designs has survived from the founder of the Lang artist dynasty in Schaffhausen.
