Hans AsperHans Asper (1499=1571) was a Swiss painter. He lived his entire life in Zurich. Nothing is known of his life until 1526, when he married the daughter of Ludwig Nggi, a master carpenter who sat in the city council, and his first artwork dates only from 1531. Asper was himself a citizen of some standing, and was elected to the Great Council in 1545. His artistic talents ran to flowers, fruit, and portraits. His portraits show affinity to the works of Hans Holbein; notable works include a depiction of Huldrych Zwingli. Two of his 11 children, Hans Rudolf Asper and Rudolf Asper, were also painters.
