The ''Portrait of Matthäus Schwarz'' is a notable 16th-century oil painting by the German Renaissance artist Christoph Amberger, created circa 1542. The painting is a half-length portrait that depicts Matthäus Schwarz, a prominent Augsburg accountant and fashion enthusiast, who is best known for his detailed clothing book, the ''Kleidungsbüchlein'', which documents his wardrobe and the fashion of his time. Schwarz is portrayed at the age of 37, as indicated by the inscription on the painting, which adds a personal and historical context to the artwork.

In this portrait, Amberger captures the subject with a high degree of naturalism and attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Schwarz's attire, which reflects his interest in fashion. The subject is dressed in a black coat with a fur collar, a common fashion of the German Renaissance among the affluent, and he is adorned with a gold chain and a black hat, signifying his wealth and status. The portrait is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous brushwork, and the lifelike representation of textures, all of which are hallmarks of Amberger's portraiture.

Christoph Amberger, active in Augsburg, was known for his portraits of the city's leading citizens, and his work provides valuable insights into the society and culture of the time. The ''Portrait of Matthäus Schwarz'' is considered an important work in Amberger's oeuvre, as it exemplifies the artist's skill in portraiture and contributes to the understanding of Renaissance fashion and the social history of the period.
