Painting Description
"Portrait of Bernhard von Reesen" is a painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1521. The artwork is a bust-length portrait of Bernhard von Reesen, who was a merchant from Danzig (modern-day Gdańsk, Poland). The painting is notable for its meticulous detail and the rich portrayal of the subject's character, which is typical of Dürer's portrait work.
The portrait is executed in oil on panel and measures 56 cm by 49 cm. It showcases Dürer's mastery of the oil medium and his ability to capture the textures of materials, such as the sitter's clothing and the fur lining of his coat. The subject is depicted against a dark, neutral background, which serves to highlight his features and the elaborate costume. Bernhard von Reesen is shown holding a piece of paper, possibly a letter or a business document, which may indicate his profession and social status.
Dürer's trip to the Netherlands between 1520 and 1521, where he encountered various patrons and subjects, resulted in the creation of this portrait. The painting is inscribed with the sitter's name, the year of its creation, and Dürer's monogram, which authenticates the work as one of his creations. "Portrait of Bernhard von Reesen" is an important example of Northern Renaissance portraiture and reflects the cultural and economic exchanges of the period.
The painting is held in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany, and remains a significant piece for the study of Dürer's portraiture and the broader context of Renaissance art. It continues to attract scholarly attention for its technical brilliance and the insight it provides into the society and individuals of the time.
