16th Century Wood Engraving By Hans Franck: The Coronation Of The Virgin
Artist: Franck Hans ( Ca.1485 - Avant 1522 )
Reference: Nagler 1858-79 III.896
The typographical text on the prints identifies it as an illustration for one of Geiler's 'Predigt' books, most likely the "Brösamlein von des hochgelerten Keiserpergs tisch so er in vil malen pepredigt hatt" published in Strasbourg by Grüninger in 1517. Most of the woodcuts seem to have already been used in other publications printed by Grüninger from 1510 onwards, such as the Plenarium (1510) or Geiler's sermons on the Virgin (1512).
Painter and draftsman of woodcuts, Hans Franck was active in Basel between 1505 and 1522. A contemporary of Urs Graf, he accompanied him in numerous mercenary campaigns, including the battle of Novara in 1515. He worked in Basel mainly as a painter wall.
