Hans Dürer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Dürer (born February 21, 1490 in Nuremberg - ca. 1538), was a German Renaissance painter, illustrator, and engraver.

He was the younger brother of Albrecht Dürer, and after him, the most talented of 17 siblings. He was certain to have been trained in the workshop of his already famous brother. He became the court painter for Sigismund I of Poland. He went to live and work in Kraków for some time, like many other Nuremberg artists (where there are still many of their artworks on display).
