Jacob Acker

Jacob Acker was a German painter from Ulm, who created late Gothic works of sacred art. His exact survival data are unknown. But his creative period is 1441-1491 from Ulmer files detected.

Life

He was probably a member of the widely ramified Ulm painter and glass artist family which also includes the important artist Hans Acker and Jacob Acker ( the Elder) included. He is expected to Ulm School. Jacob Acker ( the younger) is the creator of the 1483 completed and signed altar in the cemetery chapel of Rißtissen. This is the only existing today, and certainly he has created art work. He had proven painted the doors of the main organ of Ulm Minster. However, this organ was on 19 June 1531 the Ulm " Götzentag " at a Reformation iconoclasm lost to the art treasures of Ulm Minster.

The Risstisser altarpiece was probably not originally created for the Risstisser cemetery chapel and could have been spent by members of the family of the Barons of Stotzingen Niederstotzingen after Rißtissen.

Jacob Acker, the literature repeatedly named as a teacher by Jörg Stocker, but this can not be safely detected.
