Schön, Erhard (1481–1542)

He was famed as a popular printmaker, with attributions including around 1200 illustrations for 116 books and about 200 separate woodcuts. Among the best works are the woodcuts that he and Hans Springinklee made for the "Hortulus animae", published in Nuremberg in 1515 by Johannes Koberger. It was one of the most popular pre-Reformation anthologies of prayers, published in at least 20 German and Latin editions. Springinklee had lived in Albrecht Durer's house for several years and Schon seems to have been influenced by Durer through Springinklee. Comment on works: Religious
