EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Pieter de Jode II, we see the image of Cornelius Gobelius, Bishop of Bamberg, during the Peace Conference of Munster in 1648. The Peace of Westphalia, also known as the Treaty of Westphalia, was a series of peace treaties that ended the Thirty Years' War in Europe. The conference brought together various European powers and religious groups to negotiate an end to the conflict, which had been raging since 1618. Bishop Gobelius, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, is depicted with a serious expression and a stern gaze. He is shown seated at a table, surrounded by other dignitaries and men of importance. The engraving, created by Pieter de Jode II in the 1640s, captures the somber mood of the conference and the gravity of the negotiations taking place. The image is part of a larger series of engravings by Pieter de Jode II, titled "The Dignitaries at the Peace Conference of Munster 1648," which depicts various leaders and religious figures who attended the conference. The series is an important historical record of the Peace of Westphalia and the people who played a role in its negotiation. Today, this engraving is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of heritage art. The image serves as a reminder of the complex history of Christianity in Europe and the role that religious leaders played in shaping the political landscape of the time. The intricately detailed engraving also showcases the artistic skill of Pieter de Jode II and the enduring power of the medium of engraving as a means of recording history.
