Life

Klingenbeck is of interest in art history because a leaflet was printed in Hans Glaser's workshop on the occasion of his death . Several copies of this woodcut are known. One of these is owned by the British Museum in London and shows a snake with a bird's wing in the upper right corner , the signet of Lukas Cranach the Younger .
