Kaspar Amort, who was born in 1612 in the valley of the Jachenau, went to Munich in 1631, and studied art under Johann Donauer. He then paid a visit to Italy, where the works of Caravaggio produced much effect on his style. On his return to Munich he was made court painter, and executed numerous works for the decoration of cloisters and churches. He died at Munich in 1675.
