Christoph Weiditz (1498, Strasbourg or Freiburg im Breisgau – 1559, Augsburg) was a German painter, medalist, sculptor and goldsmith. His artistic development goes from a naïve-German record of the Renaissance influences to a clever mannerism. Christoph Weiditz is one of the four most important German medalists of the Renaissance, alongside Hans Schwarz, Friedrich Hagenauer and Matthes Gebel.[citation needed]
Life
He was the brother of Hans Weiditz, the Younger (1493–1537), a famous woodcut artist.
Between 1528 and 1529 he stayed in Spain and made drawings of the folk costumes the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula.[1][2]
