Portret van Adam Lonitzer 1549 - 1584

This is a portrait of Adam Lonitzer, a renowned German physician and botanist. The artwork was created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1549 and 1584. It depicts Lonitzer in an oval frame, adorned with a richly decorated, floral-patterned collar, and holding a small object in his hands. This engraving was created for a publication of Lonitzer's work and reflects the importance of his contributions to medicine and the study of plants during the Renaissance. The work is a classic example of an engraving, a printing technique that uses an etched plate to transfer an image onto paper.
