Hans Multscher
(German, ca. 1400–1467)
Place ActiveUlm, Bavaria, Europe
BiographyMultscher is believed to have traveled in his youth, perhaps to the Rhineland, Burgundy, and as far as the Netherlands. By 1427 he was recorded as a sculptor in Ulm. Multscher worked in other South German centers as well, producing both painting and sculpture, but his masterpiece may be the altar he made for a church in Sterzing (Vipiteno), in the South Tyrol near Bolzano.Source: Art in The Frick Collection: Paintings, Sculpture, Decorative Arts, New York: Harry N.
