Gärtner, Georg, II
(b Nuremberg, c. 1575/80; d Nuremberg, 1654). German painter and engraver. The son of the artist Georg Gärtner I (d 1612), he probably worked with his father until 1612. He executed 44 signed plates illustrating the Funeral Procession of Margrave Frederick of Brandenburg (1613; London, BM) and also helped illustrate B. Beseler’s natural science compendium, the Hortus Eichstettensis (Nuremberg, 1613; complete copy, Nuremberg, Stadtbib.), which he signed appropriately in Latin as ‘Georg Hortulanus’. On 8 April 1613 Nuremberg city council commissioned him to work alongside Gabriel Weyer, Paul Juvenel I and Jobst Harrich to restore the wall paintings designed by Dürer for the Nuremberg Rathaussaal (destr. 1945). This restoration was undertaken first in 1613–14, then in a second phase in 1619.
