Hans Baldung (called Hans Baldung Grien)
German, Schwäbisch Gmünd (?) 1484/85–1545 Strasbourg
Hans Baldung, known as Hans Baldung Grien, was a German Renaissance artist whose drawings and prints explore the human figure with a distinctive, often unsettling energy. His draftsmanship sits within the Northern Renaissance tradition, where charcoal and related drawing media served as both preparation and independent expression. The archive holds a single sheet by his hand, a charcoal drawing dated to 1500, an early point in his career. The collection's example, Bust of a Young Woman, represents this focused holding of one work in that medium from the turn of the sixteenth century.
