"Bildnis des Bernard Knipperdolling" is a notable work by Heinrich Aldegrever, a German artist and engraver of the Renaissance period. Born in 1502, Aldegrever was a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer and is often associated with the Northern Renaissance. His work spans religious themes, ornamental designs, and portraits, with a particular emphasis on fine detail and the influence of the Reformation on art.

The portrait of Bernard Knipperdolling is significant for its depiction of a key figure in the Münster Rebellion, an event that was part of the wider Protestant Reformation. Bernard Knipperdolling (c. 1495 – 1536) was a leader in the Anabaptist movement in Münster and became known for his role as an executioner during the Münster Rebellion, a radical attempt to establish a communal sectarian government. Eventually, the rebellion was quashed, and Knipperdolling was executed.

Aldegrever's engraving, created in 1536, the same year as Knipperdolling's execution, is not just a portrait but a historical document, capturing the features of a man who played a pivotal role in one of the more tumultuous periods of European religious history. The work is executed with the meticulous detail characteristic of Aldegrever's style, offering insight not only into the physical appearance of Knipperdolling but also into the clothing and fashion of the time.

This portrait is part of Aldegrever's broader body of work, which reflects the complex interplay between art, religion, and politics during the Reformation. Through "Bildnis des Bernard Knipperdolling," viewers gain a window into the past, presented with the technical skill and artistic sensitivity that define Aldegrever's legacy in the history of art.
