Bernhard Strigel Biography
(b Memmingen, 1460; d Memmingen, 1528). Painter, son or nephew of (1) Hans Strigel II. His training with (1) Hans Striegel II shows stylistically in his early works in the Grisons, e.g. the Last Judgement (1486; Brigels, pilgrimage chapel of St Eusebius) and an altarpiece at Disentis (1489; St Johann Baptist). In the 1480s and 1490s he also worked in the studio of Ivo Strigel. Motifs in his pictures stem from engravings by Martin Schongauer and from Ulm book woodcuts. He met Bartholomäus Zeitblom as a fellow worker on the high altar (14934) of Blaubeuren Abbey, both being influenced by Netherlandish art: Zeitblom by Rogier van der Weyden but Strigel primarily by Dieric Bouts. This influence is also seen in his Adoration of the Magi altarpiece (c . 1500; Memmingen, Städtmus.). The altar of the Virgin for the monastery at Salem (15078; Salem, Schloss) has links with Dürers graphic work: an increasing three-dimensionality and monumentalization of the objects and figures, and their disposition in space. Through the influence of Hans Holbein I and of Augsburg portraiture his work achieved a stabilization of form c . 151720. In the Crucifixion (after 1515; Prague, N.G., Sternberk Pal.) the influence of Lucas Cranach becomes apparent.
