EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Dorothea Kannengiesser, a prominent figure in 16th-century Basel. Created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger, this portrait showcases Dorothea Meyer, nee Kannengiesser, who was the second wife of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, the Burgermeister of Basel. The image is a study for Holbein's famous Damstadt Madonna painting and is currently housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. With delicate strokes of chalk on paper, Holbein masterfully brings out Dorothea's refined features and elegant headdress. Dating back to 1525-1526 but printed in 1943 as part of Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" this artwork bridges two centuries and provides a glimpse into Renaissance portraiture. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to Dorothea's expression and highlights her gracefulness. Dorothea stands as an emblematic representation of German society during that era. Her poise exudes confidence while her gaze captivates viewers with its enigmatic allure. This portrait serves as a testament to Hans Holbein's exceptional talent for capturing human essence through his artistry. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and sophistication that defined European culture during the sixteenth century.
