G.D. Scultz (known to the internet as Daniel Schultz) is NOT a famous painter. I find him in NONE of my reference books in my office - I am a professional art historian who specializes in another period. Therefore the 17th century artists included in reference books in my office tend to be the actually famous. He is, by this simple test, a 'minor painter'. There are many, many minor baroque painters whose names are known. VERY few of them belong on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelTinkler (talk • contribs) 11:32, 9 April 2002

[edit] Nationality

• Schultz was born in Gdansk/Danzig, a city with a huge influx of Germans, especially at the "Upper class". (I presume a baroque painter is rather a member of a wealthy family)
• "Schultz" is not what I would call a typical Polish name.
• Poland at that time was a multi - national kingdom, so not everybody born as a subject of the Polish King is Polish.
• it´s not necessary to classify him as Polish, it´s quiet obvious that he worked at Warsaw for the Polish King.
• Nationality wasn´t a criteria in the 17th century as it is understood today, so we shouldn´t decide about it with our modern comprehension.(217.184.130.184 (talk) 10:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Schultz at Danzig , Borussia=Prussia

You are right, that he was not Polish. He was not born in Poland either but he did paintings for the Swedish (and Lithuanian) Wasa king(s), also kings of Poland ([1]). Probably around 1615 Schultz was born in the Hanse city state of Danzig. Danzig is listed in the imperial cities (Liber Civitates Imperiales [2] list: Dantiscum=Gedanum, Borussia = Danzig, Prussia [*[3]. To become a member of this Hanseatic city state of Danzig one had to be a German language speaker. (Since 1945 Soviet conquest until now it is Gdańsk, Poland). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.201.57 (talk) 23:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
