"Portrait of the Merchant Georg Gisze" is a renowned oil painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, completed in 1532. This work is a striking example of Holbein's mastery in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with acute realism and attention to detail. The painting depicts Georg Gisze, a successful merchant from Danzig (modern-day Gdańsk, Poland), who was a member of the Hanseatic League in London. The portrait is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the sitter and the array of objects that surround him, which together provide a deep insight into the life and status of a 16th-century merchant.

Measuring 96.3 cm by 85.7 cm, the painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Holbein's portrait is notable for its use of symbolism and the inclusion of items that reflect Gisze's profession and personal identity. The meticulous depiction of objects such as the seal, scissors, and the letter, along with the carnation in Gisze's hand, are interpreted as symbols of his trade, marital status, and the transience of life. The Latin inscriptions, along with the artist's signature and the date, further enrich the narrative of the painting.

Holbein's technique showcases his skill in rendering textures and materials, from the sheen of silk to the gleam of metal, demonstrating why he was one of the most sought-after portraitists of his time. "Portrait of the Merchant Georg Gisze" is not only a testament to Holbein's artistic prowess but also an invaluable document of the social and cultural milieu of the Northern Renaissance.
