Daniel Lindtmayer

Daniel Lindtmayer was an artist active in the late 16th century, with his documented artistic output spanning the years 1552 to 1591. His body of work represented in museum collections primarily consists of drawings, though at least one print is also documented. In total, five drawings and one print are currently inventoried in institutional databases.

Lindtmayer’s thematic repertoire was broad, encompassing complex biblical narratives, historical subjects, and ceremonial imagery. His focus on narrative drawing is evidenced by works such as The Prodigal Son, Joseph Sold by His Brothers into Egypt, and The Sacrifice of Abraham. He also executed historical or heraldic subjects, demonstrated by Ancient Triumphal Procession and the work titled The Arms of Habsberg Flanked by an Elegant Couple.

The continued study of Lindtmayer is supported by the significant institutions holding his pieces, including the Rijksmuseum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art. The presence of his surviving drawings and Daniel Lindtmayer prints in these prominent collections establishes their museum-quality status. Because many of these works reside in the public domain, they are often available today as high-quality prints for researchers and collectors.
