German painter (1498–1559) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christoph Weiditz (1498, Strasbourg or Freiburg im Breisgau – 1559, Augsburg) was a German painter, medalist, sculptor and goldsmith. His artistic development goes from a naïve-German record of the Renaissance influences to a clever mannerism. Christoph Weiditz is one of the four most important German medalists of the Renaissance, alongside Hans Schwarz, Friedrich Hagenauer and Matthes Gebel.[citation needed]
