The son of an illuminator, he became a citizen of Regensburg in 1505, spendin
g the rest of his life in the city and holding several high public posts. His landscape paintings, of small format, reveal the influence of the Alpine and Danubian region (\i View of the Danube near Regensburg\i0 , Munich, Alte Pinakothek; \i Landscape w
ith Bridge\i0 , London, National Gallery). His works on a larger scale are based chiefly on the models of Dⁿrer (\i Crucifixion\i0 , Kassel, GemΣldegalerie) and the structuring of space to be found in the pictures of Pacher (\i The Story of Susanna\i0 ,
Munich, Alte Pinakothek). \i The Saint Florian Altarpiece\i0 (now divided among Nuremberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Florence, Uffizi, and others) and \i AlexanderÆs Victory over Darius at Issus\i0 , painted for William of Bavaria in the year 1529, a
re regarded as masterpieces of German Renaissance painting.
