Lorentz Jørgensen

The two may well have worked together in 1643 on the altar screen for the north chapel in Halsted Priory Church on Lolland.

His career then became intricately related to that of Christoffer Knudsen Urne (1594–1663) who was appointed lensman (vassal) at Tranekær on Langeland in 1642.

[1] In 1645, Jørgensen moved with Urne to Zealand where he settled in Holbæk which became the centre of his activity.

[1] The altarpiece in Egebjerg Church (1648) is interesting in that it depicts the Crucifixion in the centrepiece, rather than the Last Supper as was usual, and also contains figures of Christoffer Urne and his wife Sophie Lindenow.

His talents are above all evident in the ornamental rococo framework around the panels of his many altarpieces.
