Joachim Deschler

[1] There are no further details for the period 1533 to 1547, except that he studied in Italy for two years; mostly, it is thought, in Venice and Rome, returning with many drawings and sketches.

He was still a resident of Nuremberg in 1554, when his daughter by his first wife was married, but moved to Vienna sometime in the late 50s.

[1] Deschler's workshop produced small sculptures made from limestone and boxwood in the German Renaissance style.

He also produced a great number of artistically executed medals, which may be identified by the letters "ID" inscribed on the arm of the person depicted.

Although Deschler's work shows Italian influence, its genre-like nature marks it as distinctively German.
