EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable chiaroscuro woodcut portrait of Jakob Fugger II, created by the talented artist Hans Burgkmair in 1511/12. Measuring at 18x12 cm, this exquisite piece is currently held in a private collection. Jakob Fugger II, also known as "the Rich" was an influential Augsburg business magnate during the Northern Renaissance period. This half-length profile portrait captures his commanding presence and highlights his status as one of the wealthiest individuals of his time. Dressed in a stylish hat that adds to his air of sophistication, Fugger's image exudes power and authority. As a prominent banker and businessman, he played a significant role in shaping European commerce during the early 16th century. Burgkmair's masterful use of chiaroscuro technique further enhances the depth and realism of this woodcut print. The interplay between light and shadow creates striking contrasts that bring Fugger's features to life. This artwork not only serves as a visual testament to Fugger's immense wealth but also provides valuable insights into the economic landscape of Augsburg during this era. It stands as an enduring symbol of both artistic excellence and historical significance within German culture.
