Peter Hemmel

Peter Hemmel of Andlau (c. 1420, Andlau, now in the Bas-Rhin region of France - 1506, Strasbourg) was a late Gothic stained glass artist, whose workshop in Strasbourg was active between 1447 and 1501. Sometimes working alone and sometimes in collaboration with other stained-glass artists in the city, it mainly supplied religious buildings in what is now Austria, southern and eastern Germany, eastern France and northern Italy, though none of Hemmel's windows survive in Andlau itself. He became a citizen of Strasbourg as well as a landowner and counsellor. A document of 1466 refers to him marrying the widow of the painter Hans Hirtz.

Hemmel used templates drawing on the work of Rogier van der Weyden and Martin Schongauer. He used two-coloured and shaded glass in bright iron reds, bright blues, black-enamel and silver-yellow (produced with silver salts) to reproduce brocades, textiles and faces. He is also notable for his attention to details, such as in animals and plants, as seen in the Guilds Window in Ulm Minster.
