See also:HERLEN (or HERLIN), FRITZ , of See also:Nordlingen, See also:German artist of the See also:early Swabian school, in the 15th See also:century. The date and See also:place of his See also:birth are unknown, but his name is on the See also:roll of the tax-gatherers of See also:Ulm in 1449; and in 1467 he was made See also:citizen and See also:town painter at Nordlingen, " because of his acquaintance with Flemish methods of See also:painting." One of the first of his acknowledged productions is a See also:shrine on one of the altars of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church of Rothenburg on the Tauber, the wings of which were finished in 1466, with seven scenes from the lives of See also:Christ and the Virgin See also:Mary. In the town-See also:- HALL

hall of Rothenburg is a Madonna and St See also:Catherine of 1467; and in the See also:choir of Nordlingen See also:cathedral a See also:triptych of 1488, representing the " Nativity " and " Christ amidst the Doctors," at the See also:side of a votive Madonna attended by St See also:Joseph and St See also:Margaret as patrons of a See also:family. In each of these See also:works the painter's name certifies the picture, and the manner is truly that of an artist " acquainted with Flemish methods." We are not told under whom Herlen laboured in the See also:Netherlands, but he probably took the same course as See also:Schongauer and Hans See also:Holbein the See also:elder, who studied in the school of See also:van der See also:Weyden. His altarpiece at Rothenburg contains See also:groups and figures, as well as forms of See also:action and drapery, which seem copied from those of van der Weyden's or See also:Memlinc's disciples, and the votive Madonna of 1488, whilst characterize& by similar features, only displays such further changes as may be accounted for by the See also:master's See also:constant later contact with contemporaries in See also:Swabia. Herlen had none of the See also:genius of Schongauer. He failed to acquire the delicacy even of the second-See also:rate men who handed down to See also:Matsys the traditions of the 15th century; but his example was certainly favourable to the development of See also:art in Swabia. By See also:general consent critics have assigned to him a large See also:altar-piece, with scenes from the gospels and figures of St See also:Florian and St Floriana, and a Crucifixion, the See also:principal figure of which is carved in high See also:relief on the See also:surface of
a large See also:panel in the church of See also:Dinkelsbuhl. A Crucifixion, with eight scenes from the New Testament, is shown as his in the cathedral, a " Christ in See also:Judgment, with Mary and See also:John," and the " Resurrection of Souls " in the town-hall of Nordlingen. A small See also:Epiphany, once in the See also:convent of the Minorites of Ulm, is in the Holzschuher collection at See also:Augsburg, a Madonna and See also:Circumcision in the See also:National Museum at See also:Munich. Herlen's See also:epitaph, preserved by Rathgeber, states that he died on the 12th of See also:October 1491, and was buried at Nordlingen.
