Hans von Aachens Werke in Augsburger Sammlungen.

Around 1641/42, a considerable number of paintings from the Augsburg art collections were offered for sale to the imperial court in Vienna, among them five paintings by Hans von Aachen. Jeremias Steininger, son of the well-known art collector Hans Steininger (1552– 1634), offered two allegorical paintings (Allegory of Justice, Triumph of Time) and a bust portrait of Duke William V of Bavaria. David Milbinger offered two works by Hans von Aachen: a small-format oil painting whose composition can be identified with Raphael Sadeler’s Amor Fucatus, and a self-portrait by the painter. The article provides identification possibilities of these paintings and investigates their origin with the help of written and visual sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
