Who was Jakob Meyer zum Hasen?
Jakob Meyer zum Hasen was the bürgermeister of the city of Basel from 1516 to 1521. A money changer by profession, he was the first bürgermeister of Basel to be a tradesman, belonging to a guild rather than the aristocracy or a wealthy family. Relatively little is known about his life, "not even a modest biography". Today he is best known as a patron of the painter Hans Holbein the Younger, having commissioned the Darmstadt Madonna from him.
