Thoman Burgkmair, or Thomas, the father of Hans Burgkmair, and the father-in-law of Hans Holbein the elder, is mentioned in the records of the Painters' Guild at Augsburg in 1460, and in public documents there in 1479. He painted in 1480 a 'Christ with St. Ulric' and a 'Virgin with St. Elizabeth of Thuringia,' both in the cathedral at Augsburg; the gallery of that city also possesses a picture by him of the 'Martyrdom of St. Stephen, St. Lawrence, and scenes from the Passion.' Burgkmair died at Augsburg in 1523.
