Ernst Wilhelm Londicer (circa 1655\u20131697) was a Scottish nobleman by birth. After studying art in Germany, Londicer went to Tallinn at the beginning of the 1680s, where he was named the official artist of the Knighthood of Estland. A few portraits that he painted of contemporaries are preserved in the House of the Black Heads in Tallinn: Friedrich Wilhelm, Elector of Brandenburg <\/i>(1683), Johann Fischer, Superintendent-General of Livland<\/i> (1686) and others. Londicer also painted and gilded the retable completed in 1696 for Tallinn\u2019s cathedral and painted two pictures for it: the lower one of them on the theme of the Last Supper, and the upper one on the crucifixion of Christ. The design of the title page of Christian Kelch\u2019s chronicle was also entrusted to this well-known artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
