Details

German painter, together with his son active in Augsburg, which alongside Nuremberg was one of the leading centres of artistic production in 16th-century Germany. (From Augsburg came important artistic families such as the Holbeins.) Ulrich Apt the Elder painted many portraits, mostly in the style of Hans Holbein the Elder, and several have been confused with Holbein the Younger's. There are pictures by him in Augsburg, Florence (Uffizi), Munich and Vienna, and there are two replicas of A Man and his Wife, 1512, in the Royal Collection, Windsor, and New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art). //
