Bernhard von Reesen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernhard von Reesen (born ca. 1490) was an art collector born to a patrician family in Gdańsk (Danzig), Polish Royal Prussia.
Reesen received an extensive education as was the custom of that time for men of his background. As did many other well-off business men and statesmen, at the age of thirty, Reesen commissioned Albrecht Dürer of Nuremberg to paint his portrait in 1520/21. The painting can still be seen at the exhibit of Old Masters in Dresden, Germany.
