Vischer family of Nuremberg

The fame of Peter Vischer the Elder seems to have caused the tendency of over attribution to him versus his sons and even non-family members.

Hermann Vischer, the Elder came to Nuremberg as a worker in brass in 1453 and there became a "master" of his guild.

[2] Hermann's son, Peter Vischer the Elder (c.1455 –7 January 1529), is the best known member of the family.

He immediately sold it to his brother Hans, who completed the works in progress by his father.

This included the bronze grave plate for Prince-Bishop Lorenz von Bibra of Würzburg.
