Michael Triegel (born 13 December 1968 in Erfurt), is a German painter, illustrator and graphic artist based in Leipzig. He is associated with the New Leipzig School.[1] He studied painting and graphic art under Arno Rink at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig from 1990 to 1995. His paintings are highly influenced by Renaissance art.[2]
Triegel was baptised in 2014 and paints Christian subjects.[3] In 2010 he painted an official portrait of Pope Benedict XVI. Instead of having the pope model the conventional way, Triegel was invited to the front row during a general audience.[4] In 2015, Die Zeit called him "Germany's most famous religious artist".[1]
