1578-1610 German Adam Elsheimer Locations German painter, printmaker and draughtsman, active in Italy. His small paintings on copper established him after his brief life as the most singular and influential German artist to follow Derer. Their grand conception in terms of monumental figures and poetic landscape and their meticulous, miniature-like execution were admired by Rubens and came to influence many 17th-century artists, including Rembrandt. Most were produced in Rome after 1600: the limits of this oeuvre and its chronology are extremely hard to establish.  Related Paintings of Adam Elsheimer :. | The Flight to Egypt | The Glorification of the Cross | Flight into Egypt | The Stoning of Saint Stephen (nn03) | Predigt Johannes des Taufers |
