Baldung, HANS, called also Hans Grün, a German painter and engraver, contemporary with Albert Dürer, to whom, in expression, colouring, and finish, he was little inferior. He was born at Gmünd, in Swabia, about 1476, and died at Strasbourg in 1545. His masterpiece, a painting of the Crucifixion, is in the cathedral of Freiburg; his wood-engravings are numerous.
