St. Catherine c.1505-07
Hans Balding (1484/85-1545)
Hans Balding apprenticed in Albrecht Durer’s workshop from 1503 to 1509. At some point after he made these woodcuts, the initials AD were added to increase their value. Who instigated these second plates is not clear but this is an early example of artist forgery. Art historians considered these works by Durer until the early 20th century, when attribution to his best known student was confirmed.
