Hans Bocksberger der Ältere

Hans Bocksberger der Ältere (1510–1561), also known as Hans Bocksberger the Elder, was an Austrian painter and woodcutter of the high Renaissance.

The work of his father Ulrich Bocksberger is largely unknown.

Hans may have initially studied with his father, then later traveled to Italy where he picked up styles he would later incorporate into his own work.

They had nine children together: sons Hans Bocksberger the Younger and D. J. Heinrich were both painters, in addition to Anna, George, Sabine, Catharina, Elisabeth, Margarethe, Lucia.
