Ducele Wilhelm al IV-lea de Bavaria (1493-1550) is a 1550 unspecified by Hans Schwab von Wertinger, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man in fancy clothes. He’s wearing a dark robe with gold trim, a white collar, and a tall hat with a flat top. His beard is neatly trimmed, and he holds a white glove and a folded cloth in one hand. The background is a soft blue with a faint landscape. The gold chain around his neck has small decorations, and the painting looks a little faded. The man’s face is serious, with a direct gaze. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
Hans Schwab von Wertinger spent his life painting the Bavarian nobility so stiffly they looked like they’d sat too long in a cold throne room.
