(c. 1475 -- 1537), of Augsburg, was a painter of the German Danube school. He was the son of a weaver. He journeyed to Austria and created several multi-panel altarpieces there in 1500-02, such as the Melk Altar (1502). He returned to Augsburg in 1502 where he became a master. He travelled to Italy twice, in ca. 1508 and in 1514/15. After his death in 1537, his son, Jörg Breu the Younger continued to lead his Augsburg workshop until his own death 10 years later.  Related Paintings of Jorg Breu the Elder :. | Auto-Retrato | Cybele protects from Vesuvius the towns of Stabiae, Herculaneum, Pompeii and Resina | The Flag | Bebadelsen | Anton Graff: Bildnis eines Mannes |
