About

Elsheimer is one of the most subtle, the most original and the most influential painters in the history of art. Elsheimer was a miniaturist and a meticulous worker: his largest painting is just two feet high; his smallest a mere three inches. However, his output played a crucial part in the formation of three of the most important artists in the seventeenth century ' Rubens, Rembrandt and Claude Lorrain.
