Brief Biography-Barthel Beham was a native of Nuremberg and the younger brother of the renowned printmaker Hans Sebald Beham. Albrecht Dürer was his primary influence, but Hans initially tutored him. He began with engraving and later became a portraitist.
He was exiled from Nuremberg for his views on Catholicism but was later pardoned. He subsequently settled in Munich, where he worked for William IV of Bavaria. The nobility of Germany commissioned many of his works.
