David Schmalz
Born in 1540.
Died in 1577.
David Schmalz is recognised for his work as a stained-glass artist. Although little detailed information is available about his career, his oeuvre contributes to the tradition of stained glass, an art that combines technique and aesthetics and was often found in the religious buildings of his time. Through their ability to play with light and colour, stained-glass windows have always held a significant place in architecture, and Schmalz appears to have been part of this rich craft tradition.
