Pompeius Occo developed into a key figure in the Northern European economy and was one of Amsterdam’s most prosperous residents. From around 1511, he represented the successful banking and trading house of the Augsburg Fuggers in this emerging metropolis. Occo’s portrait expresses the generally prevailing awareness that all worldly prosperity is transient. His left hand rests almost tenderly on a skull.
