Georg Lemberger

It appears certain that he took his first lessons from Leinberger, however, then was apprenticed to Hans Wertinger, the court painter for Duke Louis X.

[1] After that, he travelled to Regensburg, where he studied with Albrecht Altdorfer and had a hand in creating the paintings for the "Triumphal Procession" of Emperor Maximilian I.

In 1522, he appears in Leipzig, where he created the "Epitaph for Valentin Schmidburg" (a medical doctor who had also served as a city counselor and syndic), which is now in the Museum der bildenden Künste.

He then went to Magdeburg, where he created 125 woodcuts for the "Low German Bible" of Johannes Bugenhagen; printed by Melchior Lotter.

His few surviving artworks include a depiction of the Turkish Siege of Vienna in Merseburg Cathedral (1529) and "Fall and Redemption" (1535), now in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum of Nuremberg.
