1518 CE

Hans Burgkmair the Elder, a leading German painter and graphic artist, has probably visited Venice and northern Italy several times, where he has developed an Italianate sense of color and modeling: he combines this with northern expressiveness and love of detail, exemplified by his magnificent “St. John Altarpiece,” painted in 1518.
