Hans Bock (painter)

Hans Bock was a German painter, who was active in the 16th century. He flourished at Basle, where he executed within and without the Rathhaus, some colossal frescoes, which render his name famous. The Rathhaus also possesses a painting of the 'Calumny of Apelles,' by him. His works, though mannered, display much power and energy.
