Description

Unknown Artist 17th/18th century, Portrait of the Cartographer Gerhard Mercator Oil on canvas (relined). 56 x 41.5 cm. Gerhard Mercator (1512-1594) was one of the most important scholars of the 16th century, best known today for his groundbreaking work in the making of maps and globes, whose accuracy and detail were praised by his contemporaries. Born Gheert Cremer in Flanders, the cartographer later Latinised his name to Gerardus Mercator. After studying and working in Leuven, he moved to Duisburg in 1552. There he was suppposed to become a professor at the planned university, but this was not founded until the 17th century. He lived and worked in Duisburg until the end of his life, becoming highly respected as a scholar throughout Europe, working among others for Duke Wilhelm V of Jülich-Kleve-Berg, who appointed him his "Ducal Cosmographer" in 1563. The present portrait in oils is based on the famous copperplate engraving by Frans Hogenberg from 1574, which was widely distributed. Unbekannter Meister des 17./18. Jahrhunderts, Portrait des Kartographen Gerhard Mercator Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 56 x 41,5 cm. Gerhard Mercator (1512-1594) war einer der bedeutendsten Gelehrten des 16. Jahrhunderts, der heute vor allem durch seine bahnbrechenden Kartenwerke und Globen bekannt ist, deren Exaktheit und Detailgenauigkeit bereits von seinen Zeitgenossen gerühmt wurden. Als Gheert Cremer in Flandern geboren latinisierte der Kartograph seinen Namen später zu Gerardus Mercator. Nach Studium und erster Tätigkeit in Löwen übersiedelte er 1552 nach Duisburg, wo er Professor an der geplanten aber dann erst im 17. Jahrhundert gegründeten Universität werden sollte. In Duisburg arbeitete er bis zu seinem Lebensende als europaweit hoch angesehener Gelehrter, u.a. für Herzog Wilhelm V. von Jülich-Kleve-Berg, der ihn 1563 zu seinem „Herzoglichen Kosmographen“ ernannte. Unser Ölportrait entstand nach dem berühmten Kupferstich von Frans Hogenberg aus dem Jahr 1574, der weite Verbreitung fand.
