Hans von Tübingen (1380 – February 1462) was an Austrian artist.
Very little is known about his life, save that his work bears the influence of contemporary Burgundian and French painting. His name is known by signatures on some of his works. His output is sometimes conflated with that of the Master of the Saint Lambrecht Votive Altarpiece. He may also have been active as an etcher and painter of glass.

The impenitent thief is a man described in the New Testament account of the crucifixion of Jesus. In the Gospel narrative, two bandits are crucified alongside Jesus. In the first two Gospels (Matthew and Mark), they both join the crowd in mocking him. In the Gospel of Luke, however, one taunts Jesus about not saving himself and them, and the other (known as the penitent thief) asks for mercy.
In apocryphal writings, the impenitent thief is given the name Gestas, which first appears in the Gospel of Nicodemus, while his companion is called Dismas. Christian tradition holds that Gestas was on the cross to the left of Jesus and Dismas was on the cross to the right of Jesus. In Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend, the name of the impenitent thief is given as Gesmas. The impenitent thief is sometimes referred to as the "bad thief" in contrast to the good thief.
