EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 18th century depicts three influential figures of their time: Joseph II, Catherine the Great, and Frederick II. The print, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into an important historical event - the partition of Poland in 1772. Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 until his death in 1790, stands tall with an air of authority. Catherine II, Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796, exudes elegance and power as she gazes confidently at the viewer. Frederick William II, King of Prussia from 1786 to his passing in 1797, completes this trio of rulers who played pivotal roles during this period. The image captures these monarchs engaged in what appears to be a diplomatic discussion over a map. Their expressions suggest intense deliberation as they navigate through complex political terrain. This portrayal combines elements of caricature and cartoon-like features that add depth and intrigue to the scene. As we admire this remarkable artwork by German School artists whose identities remain unknown today but whose talent is undeniable; we are transported back to a time when leaders shaped nations through diplomacy and division. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact – reminding us that even centuries later; their legacies continue to captivate our imagination and influence our understanding of politics on both local and global scales.
