Dragowit - Dragovit - A Glimpse into the 8th Century Kingdom of Veletes
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Gustav Adolf Closs in 1903, offers a vivid portrayal of Dragowit - Dragovit, the esteemed ruler of the Veletes (also known as Welatabes or Wiltses) during the 8th century. The artwork showcases an array of historical elements that transport us back to this medieval period. The king himself stands tall and proud at the center of the composition, adorned in regal armor and helmet. His coat of arms proudly displayed on his shield symbolizes his authority and power. Surrounding him are members of his loyal army, armed with spears and shields ready for battle. The scene takes place within a fortified door, hinting at the strategic importance placed on defense during those turbulent times. The attention to detail is remarkable; every engraving meticulously captures not only each soldier's attire but also their expressions filled with determination. Adding to the authenticity is a majestic horse standing beside its knightly rider – both representing strength and bravery on the battlefield. This print truly encapsulates an era where chivalry reigned supreme. Preserved in private collections today, this lithograph serves as a valuable glimpse into German history from over a millennium ago. It reminds us of our ancestors' resilience and valor while offering art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Gustav Adolf Closs's masterful craftsmanship.
