Anthonis Moor
Anthonis Moor is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
This 16th-century portraitist painted stern-faced nobles and officials with careful beards and stiff ruffs, leaving us two surviving works. Anthonis Moor’s *Philip al II-lea al Spaniei* shows Spain’s king in a dark coat and white collar, while *Bărbat cu barbă roșcată* captures a red-bearded man in a plain black hat. Who wore those ruffs and who painted them? Look closer at the hats in the collection.
