Friedrich Count of Schaumberg - Bishop of Salzburg is a 1490 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a bishop in bright colors, holding a golden staff and an open book. His tall hat has a red tip and gold trim. Behind him is a shield with a black lion on a yellow background and red and white stripes. The painting is made from woodcut, a printing method where the artist carves images into wood. This style was common in the 1400s. Look up woodcut to see how artists made prints like this one.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
