Painting Description
"Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family, Probably Hermann Wedigh (1532)" is a painting that is often mistakenly attributed to the French artist Rosa Bonheur. However, this attribution is incorrect as Rosa Bonheur was born in 1822, nearly three centuries after the painting was created. The actual artist behind this portrait is Hans Holbein the Younger, a German and Swiss painter who became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century during the Northern Renaissance.
The painting in question is part of a series of portraits by Holbein that depict members of the Hanseatic League's merchant community in London. Hermann Wedigh III, the likely subject of this portrait, was a member of a prominent merchant family from Cologne. The portrait is characterized by Holbein's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures of materials and the subtleties of human expression.
The confusion regarding the artist may stem from a misattribution or a simple error, as Rosa Bonheur was known for her realistic animal paintings and not for portraits from the 16th century. Bonheur's work focused on the animalier tradition, and she gained fame for her paintings of horses, livestock, and other animals, which were celebrated for their accuracy and emotional depth.
The "Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family, Probably Hermann Wedigh (1532)" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and is a fine example of Holbein's portraiture work, showcasing his skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters, as well as his mastery of the oil painting medium.
