Portret van Albrecht van Beieren, graaf van Holland en Henegouwen 1578

This engraving by Philips Galle, dating back to 1578, depicts Albrecht of Bavaria, Count of Holland and Hainaut. The detailed portrait captures the subject's imposing figure, adorned with elaborate armor and a richly decorated cloak. Galle's use of fine lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting Albrecht's authority and power. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of 16th-century portraiture, reflecting the artistic trends of the Northern Renaissance.
