Christoph Amberger


Christoph Amberger (c. 1505 – 1562) was a painter of Augsburg in the 16th century, a disciple of Hans Holbein, his principal work being the history of Joseph in twelve pictures.

Amberger used to visit Ausburg every year, men of power gathered there so opportunities for commissions presented themselves. There the artist painted portraits of such men as Jakob Fugger, Konrad Peutinger, Georg von Frundsberg and the Emperor Charles V. He travelled to Northern Italy and Venice between 1525 and 1527. He died in Augsburg.
