Mathis Neithart or Nithart (he later called himself Gothart, and erroneously his name was changed into Grünewald) is a German painter, born in 1470/80 supposedly in Würzburg. Grünewald, besides
Durer,   is the most important representative of Northern painting at the turn of the 16th
century. In 1509, he became court painter to archbishop Uriel von Gemmingen at
Aschaffenburg, and supervised the rebuilding
of the palace there. In 1516, he started on a fixed income at the court of the elector Albrecht von Brandenburg, where he worked as a painter and architect and also as a designer of fountains.
He had to leave the post in 1520 because of his Lutheran convictions. His major works include the Isenheim Altar, long believed to be painted by Dürer; The Mocking of Christ (c.1503) and The Meeting of St. Erasmus and St. Maurice (c.1520-1524) and others. Grünewald died in Halle in 1528.
 

Painting religious themes with strong Christian motifs, contemporary artist Danny Hahlbohm has been creating inspirational artwork for over three decades. Born in New York and living in coastal Florida, his artwork, full of iconic religious images and messages, is well-known throughout the world. After serving overseas in the U.S. Armed Forces, Hahlbohm began painting in earnest and his work found its way in to galleries and auction houses. Now one of the world’s most recognized Christian spiritual artists, he also indulges his childhood fascination with the sea by painting gorgeous nautical themes inspired by his own sailing experiences.
