ELSHEIMER (Elzheimer), ADAM, born in Frankfort, baptized March 18, 1578, died in Rome in 1620. German school; landscape painter, pupil of Philip Uffenbach; called Adam of Frankfort at Rome, where he fixed his residence at an early age. Had numerous pupils, such as Lastman, Jan Pinas, and Goudt, and founded a new school which treated biblical subjects in the natural, anti-classic style afterwards developed by Rembrandt, of whom he is regarded as one of the precursors. His biblical and mythological scenes are represented in landscapes suggested by Italian motives, and the figures are no lay figures, but human in dress and sentiment. Each one of his pupils brought back to Holland something of his master, whose influence was communicated to Rembrandt through Lastman.
