SCHON, Erhard, painter and draughtsman on wood, a pupil or imitator of Diirer, died in 1542. He resided at Nuremberg, and much of his early work is to be found in books published, there or at Lyons, by the firm of Koberger, especially in the 'Hortulus Animae' (editions of 1517, 1518, 1520), in the Vulgates printed at Lyons by Sacon and Marion in 1519, 1520, 1521, and 1522, and in the German Bible printed at Nuremberg by Peypus in 1524. In all these works his illustrations are mixed with those of Springinklee. His woodcuts are very imper- fectly described by Bartsch.
