This print showcases John Frederick (1620-1688), the esteemed Great Elector of Brandenburg from 1640. The artist from the German School skillfully captured his regal presence in this masterpiece dating back to 1624, now held in a private collection. In this portrait, John Frederick exudes power and authority with every detail meticulously depicted. His attire speaks volumes about his status as royalty; he dons an exquisite doublet with slashed sleeves that reveal a glimpse of luxurious fabric beneath. A plume-adorned hat sits atop his head, accentuating his commanding presence while highlighting the fashion trends of the time. John Frederick's beard adds to his distinguished appearance, framing a face that holds both wisdom and determination. The fur lining on his garment hints at opulence and wealth associated with nobility during this era. As one gazes upon this artwork, it becomes evident why John Frederick was revered as the Great Elector of Brandenburg. His strong gaze and confident stance reflect a leader who was not only respected but also feared by those around him. This print serves as a reminder of an influential figure in history whose legacy continues to be celebrated today. It is an invaluable piece that captures the essence of John Frederick's reign and allows us to appreciate the artistic talent prevalent within German schools during the early 17th century.
