Hans Leinberger

Hans Leinberger, sometimes given as Lemberger (c.1475/1480 – after 1531) was a Late Gothic sculptor from Altbayern, who worked in wood, metal and stone.

He may have been the brother of Georg Lemberger, a painter and woodcut artist who also lived in Landshut, but the relationship is unclear.

His fame today rests largely upon the high altar at the Church of Saint Castulus in Moosburg an der Isar.

Completed in 1514, it is the largest surviving altarpiece in Altbayern (although it was significantly modified in the 18th century by Christian Jorhan the Elder [de]).

That same year, he created a statue of Albert IV for the Hofkirche, Innsbruck from a drawing provided by Albrecht Dürer;[1] a sign of the esteem in which he must have been held.
