Birth of a child, 1565

Friedrich Sustris (* ca. 1540 in Padua; † 1599 in Munich) was a German-Dutch painter, decorator and architect. He was a son of the artist Lambert Sustris, who worked in Italy.

Sustris got his training from his father Lambert in Venice und Padua.^[1] From 1563 to 1567 he was trained by Giorgio Vasaris in Florence, after he had returned from a stay in Rome in 1560. His first principal was Hans Fugger who ordered the decoration of the Fugger mansion in Venice. He was the son-in-law of Jan Kraeck.^[1] From 1573 onwards Sustris worked for William V, Duke of Bavaria in Landshut before he became chief architect to the Bavarian court with William's accession to the throne in 1579.
