EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Benedikt von Hertenstein, a young man from 1517. Painted by the renowned artist Holbein the Younger, this masterpiece combines oil and gold on paper, which is then laid down on wood. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, USA, this artwork measures 52x38.1 cm. Benedikt von Hertenstein was the son of Jacob von Hertenstein, a Lucerne magistrate. The inscription on the painting reveals that he was only twenty-two years old when this portrait was created. Interestingly, Holbein not only painted Benedikt but also adorned the Hertenstein house with classical figures and themes inspired by Mantegna's Triumphs of Caesar. The painting depicts a procession of both naked and clothed revellers connecting with the exterior decoration of the house. In addition to Benedikt's striking presence as he sits elegantly wearing a hat and seated in a corner, there is also an intriguing male trumpeter holding a ring frieze. This Renaissance artwork beautifully captures European Northern Swiss culture and status during that era. It exudes an air of sophistication while showcasing intricate details such as costume design and signet rings. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print truly brings to life Benedikt von Hertenstein's youthful charm for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
