Christoph Amberger (c. 1505 – 1562) was a painter of Augsburg in the 16th century, a disciple of Hans Holbein, his principal work being the history of Joseph in twelve pictures.
Life
Amberger used to visit Ausburg every year as some powerful men gathered there then. There the artist painted portraits of such men as Fugger, Peutinger, Frundsberg and Caesar Carl V. He travelled to Northern Italy and Venice between 1525 and 1527. He died in Augsburg.
The Amberger Way is a scenic 16-mile hiking trail connecting the Bavarian cities of Vilseck and Amberg... A friend who trains for long-distance running told me about a 16-mile trail connecting Vilseck and Amberg called Amberger Way ... Amberger Way hike.
