Matthias Semriger, comite al sașilor is a 1680 unspecified by Jeremias Stranovius I, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man in heavy fur robes and gold-trimmed clothes, standing beside a carved wooden box. His beard is thick, and he wears a chain around his neck with a crest on it. The background is dark with red drapes, and his right hand rests on a small table. The crest behind him has a shield with a lion and a crown, along with some writing. This was likely made to show his rank or family. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style used drama and detail to show power.
Jeremias Stranovius I painted two full-length portraits in 1680, one of a Transylvanian count next to his ships and the other of Eva Germana Armbruster, listed in her family’s estate records.
