LOBSINGER, HANS
LOBSINGER, HANS (Germ.). Founder, Gem-engraver, and Worker in metal and hone-stone, who worked at Nuremberg, circ. 1530- 1570. He was born in 1510 and died about 1570. Doppelmayr, speaking of Hans Lobsinger, says that he was skilled in many things, and showed much talent in modelling and casting in metal, wax and plaster, and in cutting precious stones, and it is therefore probable that a place in the circle of artists belongs to him. However, the medal which is shown as his work, having his po...

LOCH, CHRISTOPH (Germ.). Goldsmith and Burger of Hall in Tyrol, presented in 1560 a medal to the Emperor Ferdinand I.
