EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Sebastian Munster, a prominent figure in the 16th century. Born in 1488 and passing away in 1552, Munster was a German cartographer, cosmographer, humanist, and Hebrew scholar. The photograph is based on an original painting by Christoph Amberger (1490-1563), who expertly captured Munster's essence as a learned man. Munster's most notable work was his publication titled "Cosmographia" around 1544. This groundbreaking piece served as the earliest German description of the world and solidified his reputation as an accomplished mapmaker. Interestingly, Munster transitioned from being part of the Franciscans to joining the Lutheran church during his lifetime. The print is part of "Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" published between 1884-90 by Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz (1850-1922). It offers viewers a glimpse into Munster's intellectual pursuits and contributions to society during this transformative period in history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this image from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. As we observe this remarkable portrayal of Sebastian Munster through photography, we are reminded of his lasting impact on scholarship and exploration during the Renaissance era in Germany.
