!!!Seusenhofer, Jörg

Seusenhofer, Joerg, 
d. Innsbruck (Tyrol), Sept. 30, 1580. One of the most important 
armourers of the 16th century, son of Hans  Seusenhofer. Mentioned in 
1528, Ferdinands I's master of heraldry and armourer in 1536; 
took over his father's workshop in Innsbruck in 1555 and successfully 
continued its tradition; in his works he successfully went beyond the 
strict style of Early Renaissance and produced more animated forms 
characteristic of High Renaissance. His elegant designs surpassed most 
contemporary works. His death put an end to the family tradition of 
armour-making.
