Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum
Holy Roman emperor from 1433, king of Hungary from 1387, German king from 1411, king of Bohemia from 1419, and Lombard king from 1431. The last emperor of the House of Luxembourg, he participated in settling the Western Schism and the Hussite wars in Bohemia
The features of the Emperor’s portrait conveying vitality — particularly the slightly open mouth revealing a glimpse of the teeth — are recurring formulae in the Hungarian court art of the era.
