Porträt Caspar von Barth (1587-1658)
View through Europeana Collections
Portrait of Caspar von Barth. The German philologist is shown here as a chest pattern in the half profile to the right. His eyes are critically focused on the viewer to the left. He wears no wig, instead a beard and open hair. His Wams adorns a Beffchen, and he wears a fur coat over it. The effigy has an oval outline. Among him are recorded name, status and life data.
Caspar von Barth was enrolled in Wittenberg in 1706 and studied literature. After a short stay in Jena, he went on a ten-year educational journey, which he used to make many contacts with the great scholars of his time. He then settled in Halle and wrote his philological editions or commentary on classical texts.
The leaf was stabbed by Johann Jakob Haid (1704-1767) and laid in Augsburg. He was presented by the copper engraver and publisher Johann Dürr (1600-1663), who between 1633 and 1666 already executed a portrait as a copper engraving by Barth, which is now in the LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster. It is part of the book by Johann Jacob Brucker (1696-1770): “Ehren-tempel der deutschen Scholarship” (Augsburg 1747). Other copies of the paper are at the Berlin State Library, the Austrian National Library in Vienna, the Duke August Library in Wolfenbüttel, the LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster and the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, etc.
