EDITORS COMMENTS
Georg Emerich, a prominent German statesman of the late Middle Aages, is depicted in this intricately detailed woodcut print. Born in 1422, Emerich rose to prominence during a tumultuous period in German history, marked by political instability and religious upheaval. During the 15th century, the Holy Roman Empire was in a state of disarray, with various princes and territorial lords vying for power. Amidst this chaos, Emerich served as a trusted advisor and diplomat to several emperors, including Frederick III and Maximilian I. He played a key role in negotiating peace treaties and alliances, helping to maintain a fragile balance of power within the empire. Emerich's political acumen extended beyond the realm of diplomacy. He was also a skilled administrator, overseeing the governance of various territories and ensuring that the interests of the empire were upheld. In addition, he was a patron of the arts and humanities, supporting scholars and artists and promoting the spread of learning throughout Germany. Despite his many accomplishments, Emerich's legacy has been overshadowed by more famous figures of the era, such as Martin Luther and Charles V. Nevertheless, his contributions to German history were significant, and his influence can be seen in the political and cultural developments of the late Middle Ages and beyond. This woodcut print, created in the late 15th or early 16th century, offers a glimpse into the life and career of this important historical figure. With his serious expression and regal attire, Emerich appears as a wise and capable leader, a fitting representation of the statesman who helped shape the course of German history during a time of great turmoil and change.
