Portrait of Elisabeth Bellinghausen and Jakob Omphalius, Bartolomäus Bruyn
In the run-up to their wedding in 1539, Elisabeth Bellinghausen and Jakob Omphalius commissioned a diptych from the Cologne painter Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder (1493-1555). Bruyn was particularly successful as a portraitist – an entire generation of Cologne dignitaries had their portrait painted by him.
Here the two paintings are put in one image.
