Bartholom?us Dauher

(b ?Vienna; fl 1476-95; d ?Augsburg). Painter. He may have worked in Augsburg and was active in Ulm during the 1490s. A number of paintings have been attributed to him for this period. Of these the firmest attribution is to a portrait of Ursula Greck (1491/2; Ulm, Ulm. Mus.), shown in three-quarter profile facing her husband, which formed the left panel of a diptych painted in oil on pinewood; the right panel of Bartholom?us Greck is untraced. Documentary evidence (Ulm, Stadtarchv) states that Dauher witnessed a dispute that occurred in the Greck household in 1492. The portrait shows him to have been a confident artist, worthy to be employed by the city's patrician families. He may have been the father of (2) Adolf Daucher.
