Hans Lützelburger
Hans Lützelburger (died June 1526), also known as Hans Franck, was a German blockcutter ("formschneider") for woodcuts, regarded as one of the finest of his day. He cut the blocks but as far as is known was not an artist himself. He is best known for his virtuoso work on 41 of the "superbly cut" series of tiny woodcuts of the ''Dance of Death'',〔Antony Griffiths, ''Prints and Printmaking'', p 20, British Museum Press (in UK), 2nd edn, 1996 ISBN 0-7141-2608-X〕 designed by Hans Holbein the Younger, which Lützelburger left unfinished when he died.
He is known to have been active, and already well-established, in Augsburg from c. 1516, where he was working, and signing the reverse of blocks,〔Ten printing blocks signed by Lützelburger survive in the Albertina, Vienna.〕 under Jost de Negker, the other great blockcutter of the period, on the print projects for Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor involving Albrecht Dürer, Hans Burgkmair and other artists. In 1522 his "first undoubted masterpiece", the ''Battle of Naked Men and Peasants'' by Master NH (possibly Nicholaus Hogenberg),〔For Hogenberg, see the (British Museum )〕 was published, which in at least one edition carried an extra block in the margin below with his name as "FURMSCHNIDER" and the date in a tablet - a very unusual feature.〔Parshall 212-3, who speculates on the possible reasons.〕 This also includes portraits of Lützelburger and the artist, naked except for cloths covering their genitals, pointing to the tablet.〔We do not know for sure which is which, although Dodgson's suggestion was that Lützelburger is the figure on the left carrying a flagon and pointing with his finger. The figures were first pointed out by Dodgson in the 1909 article (p. 322), and their identification is now generally accepted - see Parshall.〕
He was active from about 1522 in Basel (perhaps after a period in Mainz), where he died, apparently young - he was perhaps in his thirties or early forties - in 1526. He and Holbein were contracted by the publisher Jakob Faber for more than one series of Bible illustrations (for editions of Martin Luther's translation), as well as the ''Dance of Death''. He and Holbein also worked for the major publisher Johann Froben.〔Parshall, 216〕 He had only completed 41 of the scenes of the ''Dance of Death'' at his death. These were issued as prints in the early 1520s, sometimes wrongly called "proofs", and when they were published in book form in 1538, with added verses, the prefactory matter only referred to Lützelburger, it having apparently been forgotten that Holbein was involved. Later editions added other designs cut by others, probably not all by Holbein. The blocks formed part of his estate at his death.〔Parshall 212-3; Bartrum 10-11〕
He seems to have produced so much work in his last years at Basel that he may well have had assistants, although there is no documentation for this.〔Parshall 212-3〕 He may also have been responsible for cutting the most impressive work of the Basel artist Urs Graf, his series of 16 white-line woodcuts of ''Standardbearers''.〔Bartrum, 218-9,〕
