Hans von Geismar
Hans von Geismar (* unknown; † 1502 or 1503 in Göttingen ) was a German painter of the Dürer period ( Renaissance ).
Life
His origin from a village near (today part of) Göttingen suggests payment documents in Hannoversch-Münden (1489, 1490) and an entry in the tax register of Göttingen (1493), as well as the style of his painting.

The panels on an altar in the Göttingen Church of St. Albani from 1499 are the only complex of works whose authenticity has been proven. They show eight scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary , as well as the martyrdom of St. Alban and the Last Judgment on the outer wings. This work is in the context of the Passion Altar by Hans Raphon , which was created at the same time for the Pauline Church in Göttingen , today exhibited as a major work of German late Gothic in the National Gallery in Prague.
