EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1524, we are presented with a striking portrait of Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Albrecht Dürer, renowned for his exceptional skill in capturing the essence and personality of his subjects. Frederick III, also known as Frederick the Wise, was a prominent figure during the tumultuous times of the Reformation. As one of Martin Luther's most influential supporters and protectors, he played a crucial role in shaping religious history. This print serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication to Lutheran ideals and his commitment to safeguarding freedom of thought. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke and line that brings Frederick's likeness to life. The engraving showcases not only the Elector's regal presence but also hints at his wisdom and intelligence through an intense gaze that seems to penetrate beyond mere appearances. The Stapleton Collection has preserved this remarkable piece over centuries, allowing us today to appreciate its historical significance. As we gaze upon it now, we can't help but be transported back in time – witnessing firsthand the power and influence held by figures like Frederick the Wise during an era that forever changed religious beliefs. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a reminder of how individuals can shape history through their actions.
