description: "Ludwig von Baldass was an Austrian art historian, professor and acclaimed author who specialised in Early Netherlandish painting. After the universities in Graz, Halle, and Munich, he studied under Max Dvořák at the University of Vienna and began to lecture there in 1926, gaining the position of professor in 1934. Baldass' 1942 treatise on Hans Memling was instrumental in the re-evaluation of the artist's importance. Other publications include articles and books on Jan van Eyck, Hieronymus Bosch (1943), Giorgione (1964) and Albrecht Altdorfer (1941)."
