Biography:
Hans Baldung Grien first studied in Strasbourg at the turn of the 15th century. He then worked in Albrect Durer’s workshop from 1503 to 1507 and was nicknamed “Grien” after his favorite color, green. In 1509, Baldung moved to Strasbourg and was a successful and prominent property owner. He then traveled to Freiberg in Breslau and painted the eleven-panel altarpiece that remains in their cathedral. Baldung’s work often incorporated supernatural and erotic subject matter, a concept that influenced many later German artists. At the end of his life and career, he focused on religious subjects, primarily dealing with the Reformation and its censorship of the arts.
