Created in 1496, the diptych titled Funk‑Diptychon: Stifterbildnis des Hans Funk is an oil painting by the Swabian artist Bernhard Strigel. Executed as a religious pair, it presents a single figure, Hans Funk, against a gold‑toned backdrop, rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of Northern Renaissance portraiture.

The work belongs to the Northern Renaissance, a period when German artists integrated Italian compositional ideas with local traditions of detailed observation. Strigel’s portrait aligns with contemporary depictions of clergy and nobility, emphasizing individual identity while adhering to the devotional functions of diptychs used in private chapels.
