Jakob Seisenegger (circa 1504-5 - 1567, Linz), Austrian portrait painter. In 1531 he was appointed court painter to Ferdinard I, King of Bohemia, Hungary, and Croatia, at Augsburg; he would receive commissions from other members of the Habsburg family as well. He also traveled widely, working in Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, as well as in various cities in central Europe, including Innsbruck, Prague, and Vienna. A painter of modest talent, his importance derives from his influential development of the full-length portrait. His best-known work in that format is the portrait of Charles V, completed in 1532, which served as the model for Titian's much more famous version which today resides in the Prado.
