Older brother
of painter, Barthel Beham, Hans
Sebald was a prolific printmaker who produced over 2,000
prints during his career. He focused on tiny engravings,
placing him in the German printmaking school called the
Little Masters. Beham also worked with larger woodcuts
and designed playing cards, wallpaper, coats of arms,
and patterns for other artists. He illuminated a prayer
book and created a painting for Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg.
Along with his brother and Georg Pencz, Hans Sebald Beham
was banished from Nuremberg in 1525 due to his beliefs
that opposed Lutheranism, the dominant religion of the
city. After returning to the city, Beham was exiled again
for publishing a book that was believed to be plagiarized
from one of Albrecht Durer’s writings.
