Image Title: Portrait of Balthasar Rantzau

Description: A portrait of Balthasar Rantzau (1497–1547), bishop of Lübeck. Rantzau wears a bishop’s miter and a robe with a large crucifix across the torso. His hands each have a cross where a stigma would ordinarily appear; he holds a crosier and a book. His two-helmeted coat of arms appears in the upper right; the shield is marked with the same crosses that are on his hands.
