Wolf Huber

Wolf Huber (c. 1485 – 3 June 1553) was an Austrian- German painter, printmaker, and architect, who worked in Passau, Germany for most of his life as a leading member of the Danube school.

In 1529 another local nobleman, Count Niklas II von Salm, commissioned him to rebuild Neuberg Palace on the Inn River, not far from the town, only fragments of which survive.

Huber probably also designed the reliefs on the tomb of the Count's father, Niklas I von Salm, now located in the Votivkirche in Vienna.

Huber's surviving drawings suggest a number of multi-figured compositions, now lost; his known graphic output is limited to thirteen woodcuts.

Huber's drawings were copied from an early date; his landscapes in particular bear a deal of resemblance to similar works by Albrecht Altdorfer.
