EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from the sixteenth century, we find Elector Frederick III of Saxony, also known as Frederick the Wise, depicted with a thoughtful expression as he looks away from the viewer. The Elector, dressed in the regal attire of the time, dons a long, fur-lined coat with voluminous sleeves, a high-necked shirt, and a fur-trimmed hat. The intricate details of his clothing are rendered with meticulous care, showcasing the artistry of the woodcut technique. Frederick III, born in 1463, was a prominent figure in the Holy Roman Empire during the late Middle Ages. He was known for his patronage of the arts and learning, which earned him the moniker "the Wise." This woodcut print is from the publication "Speculum intellectuale felicitatis humane," which translates to "Mirror of the Intellectual Happiness of Humankind." The work was a popular compendium of knowledge and morality, featuring various illustrations of famous scholars and rulers of the time. The Elector's beard, styled in a full and well-groomed manner, frames his face and adds to his distinguished appearance. His clothes, though worn for practical purposes on the battlefield, were also symbols of his status and wealth. This print, created by the skilled German artist Wolf Traut (also known as Wolfgang Traut), offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time, as well as the importance of education and intellectual pursuits. The woodcut, executed in black on ivory laid paper, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the time and serves as an enduring reminder of the legacy of Frederick III, Elector of Saxony. This print is now part of the vast collections at the Art Institute of Chicago and continues to inspire and intrigue viewers with its historical significance and visual allure.
