Karl Woermann

Karl Woermann (4 July 1844 – 4 February 1933) was a German art historian and museum director.

He was born in Hamburg, studied at various universities (art history at Heidelberg and Munich), and traveled widely.

In 1871 Woermann participated in the so-called "Holbein convention" in Dresden, at which a number of prominent art historians convened to determine which of two versions of Hans Holbein the Younger's "Meyer Madonna" was the original work.

His work unites sound scholarship with sympathetic appreciation, and displays a generous attitude towards the research of others.
