!!!Hans von Schwaz

Hans of Schwaz, late gothic portrait painter; originally from Ulm 
(Germany). His style is similar to that of B.  Strigel; it is probable 
that he, too, studied under B. Zeitblom. He is mentioned in documents 
from 1510 as the painter of two portraits of Mary of Burgundy; settled 
at Schwaz (Tyrol) in 1515, where he worked as a portrait painter at 
court in Innsbruck as well as for rich Tyrolean merchants, such as the 
Fugger family. He painted around 26 portraits (e.g. of Emperor 
Maximilian I, of Emperor Ferdinand I and his wife Anna and of Anton 
Fugger).
