EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Huldrich Zwingli, a prominent figure in the Reformation movement. Painted in 1635 by Hans Asper, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 69 x 58.5 cm and is an exquisite representation of Zwingli's influential role as a reformer and pastor of the Zurich church. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail, capturing Zwingli's dignified expression and commanding presence. The inscription below the portrait reads "M. HVLDRICVS ZVINGLINVS REFORMATOR, ET PASTOR ECCLESIAE TIGURINAE. ANNO. 1635 /. FECIT" emphasizing his significant contributions to religious reform during that era. Notably, on either side of Zwingli's head are inscriptions denoting important milestones in his life: "OCCVBVIT. ANNO. 1531 AETATIS SVAE. 47". These words serve as a poignant reminder of his untimely death at the age of 47 during the Battle of Kappel. Hans Asper skillfully captures both the physical likeness and spiritual essence of this revered historical figure through his masterful brushwork and attention to detail. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Zwingli's enduring legacy but also Asper's artistic talent in immortalizing such an influential individual from Swiss history.
