EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Frederick IV, Duke of Austria, declares his unwavering loyalty to the Emperor at the Council of Constance. The artwork, titled "Frederick IV, Duke of Austria, declaring his fealty to the Emperor at the Council of Constance" is an exquisite pen and ink drawing by Ulrich von Richental. The Council of Constance held from 1414-1418 was convened with the aim to resolve the Western Schism that had divided the papacy. In this solemn gathering held in Konstanz, Germany, we witness Frederick IV pledging his allegiance before Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor. However, it is intriguing to note that Frederick would later face banishment from the council for supporting Antipope John XXIII. The image showcases a regal interior adorned with coats of arms and flags representing power and authority. A double-headed eagle symbolizing imperial rule looms prominently in the background. The composition highlights medieval feudalism as Frederick kneels before Sigismund while courtiers observe attentively. Ulrich von Richental's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life on paper. Through this artwork's portrayal of homage and oath-taking ceremony within a royal court setting, viewers are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment when allegiances were forged and decisions made that shaped Europe's destiny. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual record documenting an important chapter in European history—a testament
