Artist
German 17th Century

1600–1600
German 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist worked in 17th-century central Europe, turning myth and history into small bronze and ink scenes. Look at the bronze *Lot and His Daughters* (c. 1600) to see a dark, shadowed version of the biblical story. A delicate ink drawing, *Allegorical Female Figure in a Landscape* (c. 1600), shows a lone woman framed by trees and hills. Tap *Athena Introducing the Personification of Painting* to step into a bronze circle of the Liberal Arts.
