Ludwig Refinger

Ludwig Refinger (sometimes Reffinger, born c. 1515, died in Munich 1549) was a German Northern Renaissance painter.

[1][2] Refinger began his career as an apprentice to Wolfgang Mielich, and then started working with Barthel Beham.

He contributed three pictures to a history cycle commissioned by the Duke.

In 1542 he again received a ducal commission, this time by Louis X to paint ceilings and design stained glass windows for the Landshut Residence.

[1] His paintings show similarities to those of Barthel Beham and Hans Schöpfer the Elder, as well as influences from Italian art from the beginning of the 16th century.
