VOGTHERR, HEINRICH: Younger brother of the preceding and one of the first artists to devote his talents to the Reformation; b. at Hall (35 m. n.e. of Stuttgart) in 1490; d. at Vienna in 1556. By 1522 he was an artist at Wimpfen on the Neckar, where he published, under the pseudonym of Henricus Satrapitanua Pictor, two devotional Protestant tracts in 1523 and a pamphlet in 1524. In 1525 he removed to Strasburg, and by 1527 had written five hymns which enjoyed wide. and continued popularity (reprinted by P. Wackernagel, Geschichte des deittscleere. Kirchenliedes, iii. 504-509, Leipsic, 3870). After 1527 he devoted himself to art, especially religious and ecclesiastical woodcuts. To him are doubtless to be ascribed the pictures in J. B. Levit's edition of the New Testament (Strasburg, 1527) and in Luther's version of the Old Testament published at Strasburg and Durlach in 1529-32. His " Redeemer " and the woodcut " Temptation of the feeble-minded " have also been preserved. .His moat important production was his purely secular Kunatbuchlein, written in collaboration with his son of the same name (1538). Vogtherr in 1539 resumed his poetic activity with a Christliches Lossbuch reach ordnung eines Alfabets. Being not only an artist and poet, but also a skilful oculist, Vogtherr was called to the court of Charles V. at Vienna in 1550 as court painter and court oculist. These positions he retained until his death.
