Martin's See also:life was spent.' See also:Schongauer established at Colmar a very important school of See also:engraving, out of which See also:grew the " little masters" of the succeeding See also:generation, and a large See also:group of See also:Nuremberg artists
.
- As a painter, Schongauer was a See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil of the Flemish See also:Roger See also:van der See also:Weyden the See also:Elder, and his rare existing pictures closely resemble, both in splendour of See also:colour and exquisite minuteness of See also:execution, the best See also:works of contemporary See also:art in See also:Flanders
.
Among the very few paintings which can with certainty be attributed to him, the chief is a magnificent See also:altar-piece in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

142o; he was really See also:born twenty-five or See also:thirty years later, and is mentioned by A
.
See also:Durer as being a See also:young apprentice in 1470
.
His portrait in the See also:Munich Pinakothek is now known to be a copy by See also:Burgkmair, painted after 151o, from an See also:original of 1483—not 1453 as has been supposed
.
The date (1499) for Schongauer's See also:death,written on the back of the See also:panel by Burgkmair, is obviously a blunder; see Hensler in See also:Naumann's Archiv (1867), p

possesses eleven panels by him, and a small panel of " See also:David with See also:Goliath's See also:Head" in the Munich See also:Gallery is attributed to him
.
The See also:miniature See also:painting of the " Death of the Virgin " in the See also:English See also:National Gallery is probably the See also:work of some pupil.' In 1488 Schongauer died at Colmar, according to the See also:register of St Martin's church
.
Other authorities See also:state that his death occurred in 1491
.
The See also:main work of Schongauer's life was the See also:production of a large number of beautiful engravings, which were largely sold, not only in See also:Germany, but also in See also:Italy and even in See also:England
.
See also:Vasari says that See also:Michelangelo copied one of his engravings—the " Trial of St See also:Anthony."' Schongauer was known in Italy by the names " See also:Bel Martino " and " Martino d'Anversa." His subjects are always religious; more than 130 prints from See also:copper by his See also:hand are known, and about too more are the production of his bottega.' Most of his pupils' plates as well as his own are signed M +S
.
Among the most beautiful of Schongauer's engravings are the See also:series of the"See also:Passion"and the "Death and See also:Coronation of the Virgin," and the series of the "See also:Wise and Foolish Virgins." All are remarkable for their miniature-like treatment, their brilliant See also:touch, and their See also:chromatic force
.
Some, such as the " Death of the Virgin " and the " See also:Adoration of the Magi " are richly-filled compositions of many figures, treated with much largeness of See also:style in spite of their See also:minute See also:scale
.
The See also:British Museum possesses a See also:fine collection of Schongauer's prints
.
Fine facsimiles of his engravings have been produced by Armand-See also:Durand with See also:text by Duplessis (Paris, 1881)
