Portret van Ulrich Zwingli 1796

This engraving, "Portret van Ulrich Zwingli," was created in 1796 by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816). The artwork is a portrait of the Swiss theologian Ulrich Zwingli, a key figure in the Reformation. The piece, a simple black and white engraving, is set within a decorative oval frame. The subject is presented in profile, with a solemn expression, and a sense of historical significance. This work, now located at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Vinkeles' skill in creating portraits that capture the essence of their subjects.
