Master of Portraits of Princes
b. 1500
Master of Portraits of Princes is a Northern Renaissance artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This early Netherlandish painter specialized in rulers’ likenesses—think crisp velvet collars and golden rings. In our bundle you’ll find the 1485 Portrait of Engelbrecht II, Count of Nassau and the 1490 oil of Duke Adolf of Cleves, whose coat still glints with its original crimson. Flip the back of the 1485 panel to see the duke’s monograms next to those of his two wives. Want to zoom in on the lacework? Open the Count of Nassau’s portrait next.
