Influenced by Netherlandish 15th century painters, namely Roger von der Weyden, Schongauer integrated Netherlandish artistic advancements into German art. If accurately dated by Dürer, these would be Schongauer’s first recorded works. Albrecht Dürer, having received three of Schongauer’s early drawings from Schongauer’s brothers, marked them with the year 1469. Schongauer likely travelled to the Netherlands, returning home to Colmar in 1469. Around 1462, he worked near Ulm, Germany and in 1466 enrolled at The University of Leipzig for a semester, possibly to study or work on a commission. As the son of a goldsmith, he likely learned engraving as an apprentice to his father. Schongauer was born between 14 in Colmar (in present-day France), an Imperial city in the Alsace region of the Holy Roman Empire. Little information exists about Schongauer’s life and the chronology of his works.
