Stoffel Kloos
Born in 1540.
Died in 1575.
Stoffel Kloos is recognised as a glass painter from Lucerne. His activity as a stained-glass painter bears witness to a degree of craftsmanship characteristic of the glass art of his time. Although little detailed information about his work has survived, his involvement in this artistic field underscores the importance of local artisans in the development of the visual arts in Switzerland in the sixteenth century.
Stained-glass windows, often incorporated into religious buildings, reflect a rich and varied artistic tradition of which Kloos may have formed part.
