Michael Furter
German, 1494–1517
Michael Furter was a German artist active around the turn of the sixteenth century, working in the woodcut technique on religious and moralizing subjects. His prints belong to the early period of German woodblock illustration, in which narrative scenes were cut into the block and printed alongside text. This collection holds a single woodcut by Furter, an impression dated 1499, the example being the Ritter vom Turm with its lessons on the fear of God and respectability.
