1582 April Fir Wood Labeled Shoulders Tobias Stimmer Unsigned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Thomas Erastus" painted in 1582. Measuring 39.4 x 27.7 cm, this oil painting on fir wood remains unsigned, adding an air of mystery to its origins. The portrait depicts a distinguished gentleman with great attention to detail and precision. Over the subject's shoulders, we find intriguing labels that provide us with valuable information about the artwork. On the left side, it reads: "Anno 1582 • April • 24" indicating the year and date when this masterpiece was created. Meanwhile, on the right side, we discover "Aetatis 58" revealing that Thomas Erastus was aged fifty-eight at the time of his portrayal. The artist behind this stunning piece is believed to be Tobias Stimmer from Schaffhausen (1539-1584), although some uncertainty surrounds his attribution due to missing signatures or other definitive evidence. Despite its compact size, this portrait emanates a sense of grandeur and significance through its meticulous brushwork and lifelike representation. It serves as a testament to both Erastus' prominence during his era and Stimmer's exceptional talent as an artist
