EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1867 depicts Maurice, Duke and later Elector of Saxony, during the years 1521-1553. The artist, Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard, skillfully portrays Maurice in a regal manner befitting his noble status. Dressed in a vibrant red satin robe and toque lined with ermine, he exudes power and authority. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the intricate sword adorned with the double-headed eagle of Austria to the hand-colored lithograph that brings out the richness of Maurice's attire, each element adds depth and dimension to the portrait. Maurice was known for his bravery and leadership during a tumultuous period in German history. This engraving captures his essence as a formidable figure who played a significant role in shaping society at that time. Lechevallier-Chevignard's illustration is based on an attributed woodcut by Lucas de Cranach, adding historical significance to this artwork. It serves as both an artistic representation and a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 16th century. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only Maurice's grandeur but also gain insight into German culture during this era. The combination of artistry and historical context makes it an invaluable addition for any enthusiast or scholar interested in costume design or European history.
