Hans Baldung, known as Hans Baldung Grien/Grün (c. 1484–1545) was a German Renaissance artist in painting and printmaking in woodcut. He was considered the most gifted student of Albrecht Dürer. The son of a lawyer, he was born Hans Baldung at Schwäbisch Gmünd in Swabia, Germany and moved to Strassburg (now Strasbourg) in 1484. He was the only male member of his family not to attend university, a background unusual for an artist at the time. His uncle became a doctor to the Emperor. He spent the greater part of his life at Strassburg and Freiburg im Breisgau. Grien joined Dürer's Nuremberg workshop in 1503, likely following initial training in Strassburg, and stayed until 1507. He seems to have been left in charge of the workshop during Dürer's second trip to Italy. It is presumed that he acquired his nickname of Grien (meaning green) in Nuremberg; the workshop seems to have had three Hanses in it at one point.
