EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor from 1433 to 1437. The image is part of the Receuil des Estampes collection, which beautifully represents the ranks and dignities of various nations in stunning detail. Published in 1780 by Pierre Duflos, this engraving captures Sigismund's regal presence and authority. Sigismund was a prominent figure in European history, known for his ambitious endeavors and significant contributions during his reign. He led crusades against the Turks but faced defeat on two occasions, demonstrating both his determination and resilience. Additionally, he inaugurated the Council of Constance in 1414, an important event that aimed to resolve religious conflicts within Christendom. In this portrait-like representation, Sigismund stands tall with a sceptre in one hand and wearing a crown atop his head. The orb symbolizes his dominion over vast territories as Holy Roman Emperor. This full-length depiction exudes power and strength while showcasing intricate details that highlight the fashion trends of the fifteenth century. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into history through its masterful execution. As we admire this engraving by Duflos from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of Sigismund's influential role as an emperor who left an indelible mark on Europe during his reign centuries ago.
