EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Maurice the Brave, Elector of Saxony (1521-1553)" transports us back in time to the 16th century. In this exquisite portrait, Maurice stands tall and proud, adorned in regal scarlet robes lined with luxurious ermine fur. His hat adds an air of authority to his appearance as he gazes confidently into the distance. Carrying a sword with the double eagle of Austria on its hilt, Maurice exudes power and strength. The symbolism behind this choice is significant; it represents his allegiance to the Habsburg dynasty and his role as an Elector of Saxony during a turbulent period in European history. Handcolored by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, F. Laguillermie, this illustration captures every intricate detail with remarkable precision. The vibrant colors bring life to Maurice's attire while highlighting the richness of his position. This particular artwork is part of Georges Duplessis' renowned book "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles" published in Paris in 1867. Duplessis was a respected curator at Bibliotheque nationale who dedicated himself to preserving historical costumes through art. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into history—a visual representation that allows us to appreciate not only Maurice's bravery but also the artistic talent that brought him back to life centuries later.
