Artist: Martin Schongauer - Title: Birth of Christ - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 32 inches x 21 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Martin Schongauer (c. 1450-53, Colmar - 2 February 1491, Breisach), also known as Martin Schön ("Martin beautiful") or Hübsch Martin ("pretty Martin") by his contemporaries, was an Alsatian engraver and painter. He was the most important printmaker north of the Alps before Albrecht Dürer, a younger artist who collected his work. Schongauer is the first German painter to be a significant engraver, although he seems to have had the family background and training in goldsmithing which was usual for early engravers. His style shows no trace of Italian influence, but a very clear and organised Gothic, which draws from both German and Early Netherlandish painting.
