Durs Meder
Born in 1490.
Died in 1497.
Durs Meder, an artist active at the end of the fifteenth century, is recognised for his work as a painter of maps and sacred images and originated from Solothurn. Born in 1490, he obtained citizenship of Basel in the same year. His presence in Basel is documented until 1497, thus marking a period of artistic production in the city.
Details concerning his oeuvre and influence nevertheless remain uncertain, leaving room for interpretation and further research into his career and contributions.
