EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sovereign prince / Furst" takes us back to the 16th century, a time of feudal German ruling titles and intricate craftsmanship. Created by the talented artist Jost Amman (1539-91), this woodcut is part of his renowned collection called the Book of Trades / Das Standebuch. Amman's attention to detail shines through in this engraving, as he skillfully captures the essence of a sovereign prince. The regal figure depicted exudes power and authority, adorned with ornate garments that symbolize his noble status. The tinted drawing adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Accompanying this extraordinary artwork is a rhyme penned by Hans Sachs (1494-1576), adding another layer of artistic expression to this piece. Sachs was known for his poetic prowess, and his words bring life to the illustration, offering insight into social history during that era.

It reminds us of Germany's rich heritage and its contribution to art and literature. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail in their reproduction of Amman's work.
