Biography
Biography
The recorded working language is German. Positions recorded include mayor of a place in Italy. Work by Hans Klocker is recorded in the collections of Minneapolis Institute of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Bavarian National Museum and Augustiner Museum.
Hans Klocker seems to have been active at the court of the bishop of Brixen since 1477, although he is mentioned for the first time in this context in 1482. He is known to have created an altarpiece for the church in St. Leonhard in Passeier in 1486-90 and 1498 he was working on another for the church in Kaltern an der Weinstraße. The last time his name is mentioned is in 1500, when he made an altarpiece for the Franciscans in Brixen. Altarpieces by his hand are also known from Tramin an der Weinstraße (now in the Bavarian National Museum, Munich), Montan (now in Bolzano City Museum) and Villnöß.
