EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored woodcut print by Jorg Breu the Elder, titled "Coats of Arms of Bishops (recto and verso)" is a captivating artwork that showcases the intricate heraldic symbols of bishops from the Council of Constance held in 1414-1418. The print is taken from the woodcuts collection "Das Concilium so zu Constantz," published in 1536, and later assembled into a portfolio in 1937. Breu the Elder, a renowned German artist of the 16th century, masterfully depicts the bishops' coats of arms in vibrant colors on both sides of the print. The recto side displays the frontal view of each bishop's escutcheon, while the verso side reveals their blazon, the written description of the coat of arms. The intricate designs include various religious symbols, geometric shapes, and animal motifs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and Christian tradition of the time. Max Geisberg, a notable art dealer and collector, assembled this portfolio of hand-colored woodcuts, which is now part of the Prints and Drawings collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. The print's antique charm and historical significance make it an essential addition to any art center, art gallery, or institute dedicated to the study of art, religion, or European history. The Coats of Arms of Bishops print by Jorg Breu the Elder is not only a beautiful work of art but also an educational tool that offers insights into the heraldic traditions, religious beliefs, and political landscape of the 16th century. Its intricate details and rich colors make it a must-have for any art enthusiast or historian.
