EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Georg Obrecht (1547-1612), a renowned German jurist and legal scholar of the late Renaissance period. Obrecht's intellectual prowess and significant contributions to the field of law are evident in this striking image. Born in Nuremberg, Obrecht studied law at the University of Leipzig and later at the University of Tübingen. He began his legal career as a judge in Nuremberg and later served as a jurist in the imperial court of Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. Obrecht's expertise in Roman law, canon law, and feudal law made him a sought-after advisor and scholar. The portrait captures Obrecht in the prime of his life, with a serious expression and piercing gaze that conveys his deep understanding of the law. He is dressed in the formal attire of a jurist, complete with a robe and a fur-trimmed cap. The intricate details of the portrait, from the folds in his robe to the texture of his beard, showcase the skill of the artist. Obrecht's most notable works include "Institutiones iuris universi," a comprehensive commentary on Roman law, and "De iure et facto imperii," a treatise on the relationship between law and fact in imperial law. His writings were influential in shaping the legal landscape of Europe during the late Renaissance and beyond. This portrait is a testament to Obrecht's intellectual accomplishments and his enduring legacy in the field of law. It serves as a reminder of the importance of legal scholarship in shaping the course of history and the role of individuals like Obrecht in advancing our understanding of the law.
