Andreas Stech (September 9, 1635 – January 12, 1697) was a Baroque painter.
Stech was born in Stolp (Słupsk), the son of Heinrich Stech a painter from Lübeck.[1] He was of Lutheran faith.[2] In 1636, together with his family he moved to Danzig (Gdańsk). It is most likely that he was taught by his father; from 1653, by his father-in-law Adolf Boy (1612-1683). In 1658, he married the widow of the painter August Ranisch. After the death of his first wife, he married Adelgunde, the daughter of Nicias Wulf.[3] He had five children from his first marriage, and four from his second. In 1662, he became the Master Artisan on the basis of his artwork: The Calling of St. Andrew and Croesus throwing himself in the fire. In 1667, he received Danzig citizenship.[4] In 1673, he became a juror. From 1677, he worked for King John III Sobieski of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. His brother was also a painter.[5]
