георг пенц (1500 - 1550)
Georg Pencz was a German painter and engraver born in Nuremberg in 1500. He studied art under Albrecht Dürer and then moved to Italy, where he joined the Raphael school and studied engraving under Marcantonio Raimondi. He returned to Germany in 1528.
Most of the paintings painted by Georg Penz have allegorical and genre content, as well as portraits with good drawing and a warm, clear colouring. His work bears the hallmarks of the Raphael School, but is not a blind imitation of Raphael's work.
He is also famous for his engravings, having produced 126 prints which show the influence of the Italian Renaissance on his work rather than the German's pictorial creations. Some of his best-known works include Cupid and Venus (Munich Pinakothek), St Hieronymus (Stuttgart Museum Staatsgalerie Stuttgart) and Crucifixion (Vienna Gallery).
