EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Jacob Schwytzer" painted in 1564 by Tobias Stimmer. The artwork, measuring an impressive 193 x 66 cm, is executed with oil on linden wood and bears the artist's signature and date in the inscription below right: THOBIAS STYM [M] ER / *1564. The subject of this portrait is none other than Jacob Schwytzer, a prominent figure from Zurich who held the esteemed position of cyt hussmeister vn, precursor to the paner (bread baker) of Zurich. At the time this painting was created, Jacob Schwytzer had reached the age of 52 years. What makes this piece even more intriguing is its reverse side adorned with remnants of a rhyming Memento mori poem. This poetic addition serves as a poignant reminder of life's transience and invites contemplation on mortality. Tobias Stimmer, born in Schaffhausen in 1539 and later residing in Strassburg until his passing in 1584, crafted this masterpiece with great skill and attention to detail. His expertise shines through every brushstroke, capturing not only Jacob Schwytzer's likeness but also his essence as a respected individual within Zurich society. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Stimmer's exceptional talent while providing insight into historical figures like Jacob Schwytzer who played significant roles during their time.
