Lindtmayer [Lindtmeyer].
Swiss family of artists. The family was typical of 16th-century families of artisans, passing trade from father to son. During this period Swiss glass painting underwent a radical shift from predominantly architectural commissions to the Kabinettscheibe (independent panel), which was mostly commissioned by lay donors for insertion in secular settings. The record of the Lindtmayers shows the increasing importance of the designer (the Risser) who furnished drawings for execution by the glass painter, often for a variety of workshops. Presumably the son of Baschion Lindtmayer (d 1519), an itinerant glass painter who settled in Schaffhausen, Felix Lindtmayer I (d Schaffhausen, c. 1543), also a glass painter, is credited with panels from the monastery of St George (Schaffhausen, Mus. Allerheiligen) and a panel of a corporation (Zurich, Schweizer. Landesmus.). The following members have entries:
