Editing Hans von Kulmbach (section)

==Life==
Kulmbach probably arrived in Nuremberg around 1505. He received instruction by [[Jacopo de' Barbari]], who for a time worked in Nuremberg. Von Kulmbach then apprenticed with [[Albrecht Dürer]] and after Dürer retired from painting altarpieces in 1510 Kulmbach took over most of his commissions. Kulmbach had his own workshop in Nuremberg and at times worked in [[Kraków]]. He also created artworks for emperor [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Maximilian I]] and for Margrave Casimir [[Hohenzollern]] von Brandenburg-Kulmbach. His best works were [[stained-glass]] windows in churches, such as the Maximilian stained-glass, Margrave stained-glass at [[St. Sebaldus Church|St. Sebald]] in Nuremberg, the Welser stained-glass at the Frauenkirche and the Nikolaus altar at Lorenzkirche. In 1511 he finished the St. Mary's altar at [[Skałka]] in Kraków. The Catherine and St. John's altar also in Kraków, are among his best works.
