Hans Hug Kluber
Hans Hug Kluber , also Klauber or Gluber (* winter 1535/1536 in Basel ; † February 7, 1578 ibid) was a Swiss portrait painter , draftsman and restorer.
Life
Hans Hug Kluber was accepted as an apprentice painter in 1545 at the age of nine. As a portrait painter in Basel, he became Holbein's successor . In 1555 he was accepted into the Guild of Heaven . One of his early portraits, influenced by Holbein, is the picture of Hieronymus Frobenius (1557). The Faesch family portrait from 1559 has survived ; it came into the collection of the Kunstmuseum Basel through the mediation of the art dealer Christoph Bernoulli .
In 1562 Kluber worked in Alsace . In 1568, the City Council of Basel commissioned him to restore the dance of death frescos in the Predigerkirchhof (see Basler Dance of Death ) by overpainting and arbitrarily adding to the associated verses. In this context, he included himself and his family in the dance of death. He probably died of the plague . The painter Hans Bock the Elder , coming from Strasbourg , entered his workshop in 1571 and continued it after Kluber's death. Hans Bock founded a family of artists with his sons .
Two hand drawings with the monogram "HK", depicting St. Leodegar (1562) and Pirminius, each with a crosier and a book, are ascribed to Hans Kluber.
The Todten Tantz
In the font of Der Todten-Tantz, as it is in the famous city of Basel, as a mirror of human nature, completely artificially ground with lively colors, not without useful astonishment, from the year 1786 is a portrait of the painter with his wife Barbara (née Haller) and his son Hans Ulrich, who died. Under the portrait are two panels with the following inscriptions.
