EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Hermann von Wedigh III, a prominent German merchant from the Renaissance era. Painted in 1532 by the renowned artist Holbein the Younger, this masterpiece is a testament to his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The oil and gold on oak composition adds a touch of opulence to the painting, highlighting both the subject's wealth and status within society. Standing at 42.2x32.4 cm, this artwork commands attention with its striking presence. Hermann von Wedigh III exudes confidence as he gazes directly at the viewer, his piercing eyes revealing intelligence and determination. Clad in luxurious attire befitting his social standing, he holds an open book in one hand—a symbol of knowledge and education—underscoring his intellectual pursuits alongside his commercial success. A gleaming gold ring adorns Hermann's finger, serving as a subtle reminder of his prosperity and influence within mercantile circles. The intricate details captured by Holbein bring this historical figure to life, allowing us to glimpse into the world of Renaissance Germany through artistry. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this timeless portrait continues to captivate audiences with its rich history and artistic brilliance. It serves as a lasting tribute not only to Hermann von Wedigh III but also to Holbein's mastery as one of history's greatest painters.
