Born in 1484 or 1485, Hans Baldung trained under Albrecht Dürer and quickly became known as his most gifted student. The nickname "Grien" stuck early, tied to his fondness for green, and he carried it through a restless career that spanned painting, printmaking, engraving, drafting, and stained glass. He worked in allegory and myth, turning out portraits and woodcuts alongside tapestries and altarpieces, building a body of work dense with color, expression, and imagination. His style belonged to both the German Renaissance and the emerging Mannerism, and the range was extraordinary - varied enough that no single piece could summarize him. He died in September 1545, leaving behind an output as extensive as it was distinctive.
