ELSHEIMER (Elzheimer), ADAM,
born in Frankfort, baptized March 18, 1578,
died in Rome in
1620. German
school; landscape
painter, pupil of
Philip Uffenbach;
called Adam of
Frankfort at
Rome, where he
fixed his residence
at an early
age. Had numerous
pupils, such as Lastman, Jan Pinas,
and Goudt, and founded a new school
which treated biblical subjects in the natural,
anti-classic style afterwards developed
by Rembrandt, of whom he is regarded as
one of the precursors. His biblical and
mythological scenes are represented in landscapes
suggested by Italian motives, and
the figures are no lay figures, but human in
dress and sentiment. Each one of his pupils
brought back to Holland something of
his master, whose influence was communicated
to Rembrandt through Lastman.
