Hans Baldung Grien was a German painter and engraver who lived between 1484 and 1545. The contemporary of Albrecht DĂĽrer was also known for his numerous woodcuts and stained glass paintings. His oeuvre makes him one of the most outstanding artists of the Renaissance who worked in the German-speaking world.
He was born in Schwäbisch Gmünd as the son of a family of scholars. It is assumed that he began an apprenticeship with a Strasbourg master at the age of 15 and completed it. It is said that he moved to Nuremberg in 1503 to study and develop with Albrecht Dürer. Here he quickly became one of the most important members of Dürer's workshop. After he left Nuremberg, he remained friends with Dürer throughout his life. Already during his lifetime Baldung Grien was regarded as Dürer's successor, for his work was significantly influenced by him.
Following his Nuremberg years, Baldung Grien moved to Halle, where he worked on the Halleschen and helped shape it. In 1509 the artist moved to Strasbourg and in 1510 joined a guild and was accepted as a master. He opened his own workshop and married the daughter of a wealthy citizen. In 1545 he even rose to the position of a sovereign of the city before he died the same year. He enjoyed increasing popularity as a painter during his Strasbourg years. His style gradually broke away from DĂĽrer's and became more mannerist. From 1512 to 1516 Baldung Grien worked at the high age of the cathedral in Freiburg im Breisgau. This work was to crown his early work. In general, he created numerous altarpieces, although the number of commissions for these declined from 1520 onwards. He then devoted himself to commissions for private art collectors and lovers, for whom he created Madonna and devotional pictures. He thus remained true to his preference for religious themes. In addition, historical and mythological motifs from antiquity were added. In addition, Baldung Grien became increasingly sought after as a portraitist.
