dbo:abstract
  • Das Doppelbildnis des Jakob Meyer zum Hasen und der Dorothea Kannengießer wurde 1516 im Auftrag des Basler Bürgermeisters Jakob Meyer zum Hasen mit Ölfarben auf Lindenholz (im Format von je 38,5 cm × 31 cm) von dem deutschen Renaissancekünstler Hans Holbein dem Jüngeren geschaffen. Die Porträts des Bürgermeisters und seiner zweiten Ehefrau Dorothea Kannengießer knüpfen stilistisch an Bildgestaltungen an, die Holbein in seiner Heimatstadt Augsburg studiert haben könnte. Sie markieren den Beginn sowohl von Holbeins Karriere als Porträtmaler als auch seiner Beziehung zu Jakob Meyer als Auftraggeber. Die Tafeln befinden sich seit dem 19. Jahrhundert im Kunstmuseum Basel. (de)
