1. it’s a painting of georg giese, doing a little research ik he’s a merchant and has interesting objects near him

2. this painting looks as if it is from the north renaissance because of the smooth texture; the Northern renaissance was known for the broadening of oil paints and the use of them, do they look different from the paintings before the era. the colors are less bright than other eras of time for the reason that it’s darker, showing the gothic aesthetic of the time period and everyone’s low moods
