"Burgomaster Arnold von Brauweiler 1535" is a portrait painting by the German Renaissance artist Barthel Bruyn the Elder, a prominent painter known for his detailed and expressive portraits of the German middle and upper classes during the 16th century. The painting, dated 1535, depicts Arnold von Brauweiler, a burgomaster (mayor) of the city of Cologne, Germany, an indication of his status and importance within the civic structure of the time.

The artwork is executed in oil on wood panel, a common medium for Northern Renaissance portraiture, and showcases Bruyn's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as the sitter's physiognomy. The portrait is notable for its representation of the social and political identity of the subject through the use of symbols of office, attire, and the direct gaze that conveys a sense of authority and confidence.

As a historical document, the painting provides insight into the fashion, culture, and societal structures of the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire. It also contributes to the understanding of Barthel Bruyn the Elder's oeuvre and the development of portraiture in Northern Europe during the Renaissance. The portrait of Burgomaster Arnold von Brauweiler is an important work for the study of German Renaissance art and the role of portraiture in conveying individual and civic identity.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Bruyn that includes portraits of other notable figures of the time, as well as religious and secular subjects. It is often examined in the context of Bruyn's other works for its stylistic traits and as an example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his sitters. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its condition are also of interest to art historians and contribute to the scholarship surrounding Barthel Bruyn the Elder and his contributions to Renaissance art.
