Johann Sebastian Hersche der Ältere
Born in 1619.
Died in 1660.
Johann Sebastian Hersche the Elder is recognised as a painter and gilder. It is probable that from 1660 onwards he worked as a court painter for the Prince of Saint Gall. His artistic legacy appears to have continued through his son, who is said to have taken over his position.
Details concerning his œuvre and his impact on the art of his time remain partly obscure, leaving room for interpretation and further exploration of his career.
