Portrait of Hans Strauch

Hans Strauch is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections.

This German painter left behind a single signed work, a Self portrait dated 1589. The small oil panel shows the artist in a dark coat, head framed by a high ruff collar, lit by a quiet pool of light. Try zooming in on the collar folds and you’ll see the bristle of the brush still catching the linen threads, every stroke stays where it lands.

Next, tap to see the 1589 Self portrait in high detail and look for the tiny specks of lead white in the eyes.
