Painting

Leonhard Beck was a painter and woodcuts designer in Augsburg, Germany. He was the son of Georg Beck, a miniaturist who was active in Augsburg c. 1490–1512/15. Leonhard collaborated with his father on two psalters for the Augsburg monastery in 1495. He later worked as an assistant to Hans Holbein the Elder, contributing to an altarpiece in 1500–1501, which is now housed in the Städel museum in Frankfurt am Main.
