EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures a fascinating moment in history - audiences with Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in 1365. The emperor, adorned in his regal crown and ermine cape, is depicted receiving various offerings from different individuals. In this intricate illustration by Migliavacca, we witness the emperor's reception of boxes filled with gold and silver, symbolizing the wealth and power bestowed upon him. Diplomas are also presented to Charles IV, representing the recognition of his authority and accomplishments. The scene further unfolds as coins are offered to the emperor from two distinct groups. On one side, common informers or conspirators present their findings or accusations through monetary means. On the other side, well-dressed men offer their coins as a gesture of loyalty or tribute. These miniatures were originally part of the Vienna Codex of the Golden Bull - an illuminated manuscript created for King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia. They provide us with a glimpse into both historical events and fashion trends during that era. Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World published these illustrations in Florence in 1844. Through Migliavacca's skilled handcolouring technique, this print brings to life an important moment when Charles IV held court and received homage from those seeking his favor. This artwork offers viewers a window into both political dynamics and cultural practices during medieval times while showcasing exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
