Dear Arthur,
Very interesting second engraving, thank you.
Which shows his other ear with the same shape at
the top, not like the Oslo painting. Is there
evidence linking the Oslo painting with Newsidler?
Best wishes,
David

Reportedly he and his companion traveled over the Alps to Innsbruck
during a blizzard. He was with Philippe Camerarius, an associate of
Martin Luther who had recently been freed from being imprisoned by the
Roman Inquisition. They traveled through Siena where they stayed at
the Inn of the Mermaid (or Siren, a symbol associated with Siena; the
Siena Lute Book has a watermark representing a siren).
Here's another engraving of MN aged 43:

Well, in winter 1565, while his lute books were set and printed in
Venice, Melchior together with some fellow Germans went over the
Alps, in deep snow and at freezing temperature. Some piece of
hard-frozen snow or ice may have hit him during the passage Ö ;)
