Wolf Huber (1485 - 1553)

Wolf Huber

Wolfgang Huber was an Austrian and German painter of the first half of the 16th century, a representative of the Northern Renaissance. He is known as a master of landscape, a representative of the Danubian School, who practiced drawing, painting, architecture and wood engraving.

Huber was famous for his landscape pen drawings, which were valuable works of art at the time. In his later works on religious and portrait subjects, the landscape background also played an important role. He created about thirty paintings and also participated in large projects, including a sketch of the Triumphal Arch of Emperor Maximilian I. His main work is considered to be the altar of St. Anne, created for the church in the Feldkirche.
