Gabriel Zehender
Illustration — Portrait of a married couple by Gabriel Zehender, 1525 Gabriel Zehender was a German painter and printer believed to have been born in Grossmausdorf, and active in Basel. He has frequently been identified with the "monogrammist GZ", an artist known to have been active at about that time. He was mainly active from 1527 to 1535 although the woodcut "Christ on the Cross between the Virgin and Saint John", is believed to date from 1515.
