Martin Schaffner (artist)

Martin Schaffner (1478–1548) was a German painter and medallist.

Schaffner was born, lived and worked primarily in Ulm.

[1] Schaffner initially apprenticed under Jörg Stocker.

Records indicate he was a taxpaying householder in Ulm in 1499, suggesting that he had meanwhile become an independent master, free to develop along his own lines.

He specialized in religious-themed works, often altar pieces.
