Here is a portrait thought to represent Melchior Newsidler. The Fuggers were
MN patrons and are said to have commissioned his portrait from a visiting
Italian painter. The art historians have suggested an artist, but they
thought MN to be Hans' brother (b. ca. 1505). Hans was his father and
Melchior was born in 1531, and the dates don't match with the presumed artist..
(More on the engraving below.)
The cited engraving comes from the MN lute book publ. by Jobin in 1574 when MN
was in Strasbourg. It is by Tobias Stimmer, one of the leading artists of his
day and a Jobin in-law--thus undoubtedly painted "from Life"Â He was
especially noted for capturing his setters' emotional state. In this case, MN
comes out as a very stern individual under Stimmer's tools.

Is this considered an authentic portrait of de Rippe or just
generic?
Are there any confirmed authentic portraits of 16th c.
lutenists?
Links to pics are welcome.
