EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print depicts the renowned German mathematician and astronomer, Adam Riese (1492-1559). The portrait, titled "Rechenung nach der lenge, auff den Linihen... 1550," is an anonymous creation, adding to the intrigue surrounding this historical figure. Riese was a prominent figure during the Renaissance period in Germany, making significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy. He is best known for his work "Rechenung," which was one of the first books on arithmetic and algebra published in Germany. In this portrait, Riese is depicted with a serious expression, holding a quill pen and an open book, symbolizing his dedication to scholarly pursuits. The intricate details of the woodcut, from the folds in Riese's robe to the delicate lines of his beard, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the anonymous artist. The use of shading and contrast in the print adds depth and dimension, further emphasizing the importance and influence of Riese's work during the Renaissance era. This rare and beautiful woodcut serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Adam Riese and the artistic and intellectual achievements of the time.
