PENCZ, GEORG, born at Nuremberg about 1500, died there in Oct., 1550. German school; history and portrait painter, pupil or follower of Dürer. Admitted into the guild in 1523, he was banished for unbelief in 1524, with Hans and Sebald Beham; but he appears to have been allowed to settle in the neighbourhood soon afterwards, and probably returned to Nuremberg in 1532. After his return from Rome, which he visited before 1530 and again in 1539, he was frequently employed by the council of his native city. He was one of the best German portrait painters of his time, and as an engraver he occupies the first place among the followers of Dürer.
