GEORGE PENCZ
c1500 - 1550 Leipzig
One of the co-called Small German Masters, because of the small size of most
of their engravings,
Pencz became a citizen of Nuremburg in 1523, where he probably trained with
Dürer.
After Dürer's death in 1528, he would become one of the leading painters in
Nuremburg and from 1532 to 1550 was official painter to the city.
Pencz began printmaking in the early 1530's, after his possible first visit
to northern Italy. In 1539-40, he went to Italy again, visiting Rome.
From this period Pencz turned increasingly to classical subjects and
engraved several series centred on the female nude, with themes of powerful women
or tragic heroines.
