WALTHER, Friedrich
(c. 1440-c. 1495)

Biography

German painter and draftsman. He worked in Dinkelsbühl, Nördlingen, Cannstatt, and Konstanz, where he is last documented. In 1474 he is mentioned as a member of a workshop cooperative with Friedrich Herlin in Nördlingen, with whom he developed close stylistic affinities. His artistic identity depends largely on a panel painting in Bern depicting St Wendelin with the donatrix Barbara Strauss of Nördlingen that is signed FW and dated 1467.
