    Modestly enlarged image can be found here (along with a description, Google translated), or at the only work, by this, actually Flemish, artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.The Nuremberg Writing Master Johann Neudörfer with a pupil (link shows his German Wikipedia page, Google translated), is shown, with a different coloration, click-to-enlarge image, and described (in German and English), by a current-location page (Google translation may have messed with the English portion).If you’re interested, his calligraphy is analyzed in this 43 minute video (fullscreen is active):

    The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more), and collection.

    Beat me to it. I was thinking “Well young Rubik, this game’s lame. Let’s set it aside and work on our adverbial phrases for a bit.”

    This is the best I’ve been able to get of the translation of the Latin framing the painting:

    “John Neudorfer, all Europe indefinitely by the disciples of arithmetic graphics, a number of famous model incomparable unwavering efforts of a great ornament Country: State: Norimbergensium, which I miss, Patriot effigy Muius. AGE. 63. author Nicholas of Newcastle, host welcome or acceptable. so dedicated at no. 1561. "
