[[1480]] near [[Regensburg]] &ndash; [[February 12]], [[1538]] in [[Regensburg]]) was a [[painter]], the leader of the [[Danubian School]] in southern [[Germany]], and a contemporary of [[Albrecht Dürer]]. He was a landscape painter of religious and mythological representations; most famously also for painting landscapes for their beauty and not as illustrating any story or parable, perhaps the first "pure" landscape painter. His "Battle of Arbela" adorns the Münich Picture Gallery.
