Finding Hans Baldung Grien’s Colour Printer

Art historians have long wondered how Hans Baldung Grien created multi-colour woodcuts in the 1510s. This paper breaks from precedent to ask who printed them. By doing so, it revises the attribution and dating of some of the best known colour woodcuts from early modern Europe and, by extension, the history of colour printing techniques in the West. This research will be presented in the exhibition 'Hans Baldung Grien. Heilig | unheilig’, Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, in Winter 2019.
