Hans Sebald Lautensack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Sebald Lautensack (1524 – c.1560) was a German painter and etcher.

He was a son of Paul Lautensack, a painter of Bamberg, where he was born in 1524. Whilst he was yet a child his parents settled in Nuremberg, and there he lived during the greater portion of his life. In 1556 he was working in Vienna, where he died between 1560 and 1563. There are by this artist several landscapes, etched in a dark, forbidding style; and also some portraits, etched and finished with the graver, which possess considerable merit. His engravings, which follow the style of Albrecht Altdorfer, are generally marked with a monogram composed of the letters H. S. L. His brother Heinrich was a goldsmith.
