Abstract (en)

Study of Dürer's portrait of the Nuremberg financier Johann Kleberger, 1526 (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum); gives details of Kleberger's life and his failed marriage to Pirckheimer's widowed daughter, suggesting that the portrait was an effort to ennoble the subject in order to impress Pirckheimer, who opposed the marriage. Examines possible sources for the all'antica portrait bust format, and corrects the previous misidentification of Kleberger's patron saint, drawing conclusions about the iconography in this light.
