Nürnberg circa 1540
Christoph Kreß von Kressenstein
Oil auf canvas. 50 x 40 cm. Relined. Restored. Minor damage. Damage to frame (61 x 51 cm).

Christoph II. Kreß von Kressenstein (1515-1560) stand nach einem Aufenthalt in Frankreich in Diensten von Königin Maria von Ungarn. Kreß sollte 1531, nachdem die mittlerweile verwitwete Königin das Amt der Statthalterin des Kaisers in den Niederlanden übernommen hatte, nach Nürnberg zurückgekehrt sein. 1542 wurde er Mitglied des Rates in Nürnberg, wo er 1549 junger Bürgermeister, 1550 Landpfleger und 1558 alter Bürgermeister wurde. 1537 heiratete er in erster Ehe Dorothea Haller von Hallerstein (gest. 1554), in zweiter Ehe Catharina Imhof (1531-1574). Als Witwe verehelichte sich diese mit Tobias Tucher von Simmelsdorf.

Ebenfalls im Jahre 1540 entstand die Vorlage zu jenem Porträt des Christoph II. Kreß von Kressenstein, das der Kupferstecher Hans Troschel d. J. (1585-1628) posthum anfertigte. Die Vorlage scheint links oben mit dem ligierten Monogramm "HK" (mit "°" über dem K) bezeichnet gewesen zu. Ein Zusammenhang des vorliegenden Porträts mit jenem von Troschel gestochenen Bildnis ist unverkennbar.
