    Hansi, real name Jean-Jacques Waltz, was born in Colmar in 1873. Illustrator, caricaturist and watercolourist, he is the most beloved visual artist of Alsace and the undisputed ambassador of Alsatian folk traditions. His colourful illustrations of half-timbered villages, storks and figures in traditional costume have stood the test of time and remain the most recognisable symbols of Alsatian identity.
