Absolutely beautiful. Such a fresh, vital look. Nice fur. Looks like Rembrandt could have influenced this artist, which jives with the dates you listed. What is the significance of the numbers in the lower right corner? Any idea?
Yes this is an excellent portrait
Thanks for this large image of Denner. I had only smaller, 400 pix version...
C'est fascinant. Thanks to you to go exploring such captivating painting. ✿ Hélène Flont.
Mesmerizing and beautiful!
I did not remember Balthasar Denner's name, nor would I have recognised his work. But once I was alerted to his name, this gorgeous man appeared again in Alberti's Window.
I love my list of best blogging mates :)
This is amazing! Almost like a photograph.
I cannot get this picture out of my head. Thanks for sharing this on your blog. I amm a new subscriber.
Denner was a Mennonite who lived in London from 1721-1728. Most of the biography I've picked up about him comes from the journal of George Vertue. I'm a London based Mennonite and would dearly love to know where he lived when he was here. If anyone does have a clue, I would be glad to hear.
