EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of a Man and His Wife" takes us back to the year 1512. Painted by Ulrich Apt the Elder, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of his subjects with oil on linden wood. Measuring 33x63.2 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The sitters depicted are believed to be Lorenz Kraffter, a prominent Augsburg merchant, and his wife Honesta Merz. Their birthdates align perfectly with the ages inscribed on the window sill and wall behind them. The composition exudes an air of elegance and wealth as we see both husband and wife dressed impeccably. The man wears a fur-trimmed hat while his wife dons a double cap adorned with intricate details. They stand against a bucolic landscape that adds depth to their surroundings. Apt's attention to detail is remarkable; he skillfully employs trompe l'oeil techniques to create an illusionary effect within this German Gothic painting. Every brushstroke brings life to their expressions, allowing us to glimpse into their world as married partners during that era. As you gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, take note of how it captures not only their physical appearance but also hints at their social status and prosperous lifestyle – truly encapsulating the essence of Renaissance portraiture at its finest.
