EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as Mary, Duchess of Burgundy, pledges to respect the privileges of the city of Brussels in 1477. The artwork, created by German School in the 19th century, showcases the solemnity and importance of this oath-taking ceremony. Mary, a prominent figure in European royalty during the Middle Ages, is portrayed with grace and dignity. Dressed elegantly in period attire, she stands before an assembly representing the city's officials and citizens. Her raised hand symbolizes her commitment to upholding their rights and freedoms. The black-and-white illustration adds a timeless quality to this historical scene. It transports us back to a crucial era when alliances were forged through such symbolic acts. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we are reminded of how power dynamics shaped Europe during that time. The image also highlights Belgium's rich cultural heritage as it was once part of the Duchy of Burgundy. This connection between France and Belgium is evident through Mary's title as Duchess of Burgundy while pledging loyalty to Brussels. Overall, this engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual representation of political diplomacy during medieval times. Its inclusion in Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte further solidifies its significance within German historical literature published by Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft in 1890.
