Niklaus Manuel,
self portrait.
Styled "Niklaus Manuel Deutsch", he probably studied abroad. It has been suggested on stylistic grounds that he must have studied with Holbein at Basel, at Colmar with Martin Schoen, and certainly in Venice with Titian, where he was known as "Emmanuel Tedeschi" (although another interpretation of the evidence suggests this designation only appeared long after his death). His Totentanz, painted in fresco on the walls of the cemetery of the Dominican convent at Bern in 1515-1517 (these dates somewhat uncertain, other sources suggest 1516-1519), was lost by 1660, but not before at least two fine copies were made, which survive today, the best known by Albrecht Kauw (1649, gouache and gold).
One hypothesis for his early training suggests that he must have apprenticed in a glass-painting studio. This idea is interesting from the point of view of subsequent history: one man in Bern who is known to have been a close friend of Manuel was Anthoni Noll, whose father Hans Noll was the famous glass painter who died during the year prior to Easter, 1493. It was upon the façade of Anthoni Noll's house across from the cathedral on the Münsterplatz that Manuel painted his fresco of the Idolatry of Solomon in 1518. If his year of birth is approximately correct, Manuel would have been too young to have learned very much from Hans Noll, but it remains entirely possible that both Niklaus Manuel and Anthoni Noll might have apprenticed together. Anthoni is later identified as a "smith" (Schmied, but this designation might simply mean that he was a member of the charitable guild of the smiths, which need not imply that he actually worked as a blacksmith), but nothing is known of his training.
