EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of Frederick V (1596-1632), King of Bohemia and Elector Palatine of the Rhine. Engraved by the talented Willem Hondius in 1633, this portrait captures the essence of a powerful ruler from the German School during the 17th century. Frederick V's commanding gaze is enhanced by his intricate lace collar, which adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. His well-groomed beard further exemplifies his authority and wisdom. The sash draped across his chest serves as a symbol of his prestigious position within Germany's Protestant union. However, behind this majestic facade lies a tale of defeat. In 1620, Frederick V suffered a crushing loss that would earn him the moniker "Winter King". Despite marrying Elizabeth, daughter of James I, he was unable to maintain control over Bohemia and ultimately faced exile. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into history, capturing both the triumphs and tribulations experienced by Frederick V during his reign. It serves as a testament to not only his political significance but also to Willem Hondius' skillful artistry in immortalizing such influential figures.
