Mainz Germany:

Mainz Germany Germany. In Germany during the Romanesque period a combination of forms appeared, some drawn from German architecture of the Dark Ages, some from Byzantine precedent, and many from contemporary Lombard work. An instance of Byzantine influence is seen in the triple apses (two of them terminating the transepts) in St. Mary in the Capitol in Cologne (llth century). By far the most dramatic German churches are the great cathedrals of the Rhineland—Worms, Speyer, and mainz germany—built mainly in the llth and 12th centuries.

Griinewald was born Mathis Neithardt in Wiirzburg. Estimates of his birthdate range from 1455 to 1483. Most of his documented years of activity were spent in the service of the court of the Elector of mainz germany, from which he seems to have been dismissed in 1526 because of his sympathies with the Protestant Reformation. Besides painting, he worked as a hydraulic engineer. He died at Halle, Germany, in 1528.
