Ritratto di un membro della famiglia Wedigh, probabilmente Hermann Wedigh (morto nel 1560)

Hans Holbein the Younger German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612

La persona qui ritratta, il cui anello mostra lo stemma della famiglia Wedigh di Colonia, è probabilmente Hermann von Wedigh III, un componente della Steelyard di Londra, la stazione commerciale della lega anseatica. Il foglietto inserito all’interno del piccolo libro di preghiere riporta una citazione tratta dalla commedia Andria di Terenzio: “Veritas odium parit” ovvero la verità genera l’odio. Tali parole fungono da riferimento al contenuto del libro e forse anche come motto personale del personaggio ritratto.
