This “Portrait d’homme” (‘Portrait of a Man’) seems to float on the wall of the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar. A necessary hanging device, as the lime wood painting is painted on both sides. Its author is unknown, but the style ties it to German painting of the early 16th century, and he may have been a pupil of Dürer. On one side is a bust of a man painted in oil. On the other, a completely different scene is depicted, that of the tragic legend of Pyramus and Thisbe, two young Babylonians. Their impossible love was recounted by Ovid, and their story has inspired many works of art, sculpture, poetry and literature.
