BEHAM, BERNHARDT
BEHAM, BERNHARDT (Germ.), 1435-1507. Born at Nuremberg. Mint-master at Hall in Tyrol. There is a medal of Archduke Sigismund of Tyrol, undated, which is supposed to be the work of this artist.

He opened the way in Germany for the Italian school of the Renaissance, and largely contributed to the reform of the coinage of his country, which during his time took such an ar...
