Elsheimer, Adam 1578-1610
German painter

Born in Frankfurt, he worked in Venice after 1598 and in Rome after 1600. Basing his style on a close study of Tintoretto and other Italian masters, he excelled in the portrayal of atmosphere and effects of light, and exerted a profound influence on the development of German landscape painting.
