Biography
Biography
The recorded working language is German. Subjects and genres recorded for the work are portrait. Places of work recorded in the authority are Gdańsk. Work by Anton Möller is recorded in the collections of Städel Museum, National Museum in Poznań and National Museum in Gdańsk.
Möller was born in Königsberg. On 22 April 1578, at the age of 15, he began a seven-year apprenticeship. During this time he frequently copied works by Albrecht Dürer. Reviewing stylistic changes in his works, it is presumed that in the years 1585 - 1587 he travelled to Prussia, Germany and probably to the Netherlands. Previously suggested artistic journey to Italy (especially Venice) has no grounds. He primarily painted allegorical, historical and biblical scenes and portraits. He also produced a number of woodcuts. He created ceiling, wall and panel paintings for town halls and churches, portraits for private clients, as well as engravings, woodcuts, and pen-and-ink drawings. Close in time to the completion of the wing-altar of the Katharinenkirche (St Catherine's Church, Gdańsk), Möller died in Danzig (Gdańsk) in 1611. His tomb is located in Oliwa Cathedral in Gdańsk.
