Portrait of Hieronymus Holzshuer by Albrecht Durer

Portrait of Hieronymus Holzshuer by Albrecht Durer

The image of a good and close friend of Durer, a member of the City Council of Nuremberg Jerome Holzshuer – one of the most high-quality and masterful portraits of the artist. The frightening and wary look of the model’s eyes that burns the spectator immediately attracts attention, fascinating with the power of internal expression that this image possesses.

In the treatment of the picturesque surface of the portrait, Durer is following the tracks of his predecessors, the Dutch masters of the fifteenth century, who were able to reproduce all the features of the external appearance of the model with an unthinkable degree of detail. Like them, the artist with amazing art prescribes literally every hair of the beard and the head of his hero, in the pupil of which you can see the microscopic reflection of the window sash in the artist’s studio.

However, the strength of the spiritual life of this person, who manifests itself in an energetic turn of the torso and directed in the opposite direction to a resolute and bold look, makes us recall heroic intonations in the portraits of the work of the masters of the Italian Renaissance, about how people were shown in the works of Mantegna and Raphael.
