EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical print, we witness a pivotal moment at the Council of Constance in 1417. The artist, Ulrich von Richental, skillfully captures the grandeur and significance of Sigismund raising Count Adolph of Cleves to the esteemed rank of Duke. The scene is filled with regal figures and symbols of power. Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor himself, sits upon a magnificent throne adorned with flags representing various territories. He exudes authority as he bestows this great honor upon Count Adolph. Count Adolph stands before Sigismund, his face reflecting both awe and gratitude for this extraordinary recognition. His newly acquired title as Duke marks a significant elevation in status within the feudal system that governed medieval Europe. Surrounding them are other notable figures who bear witness to this historic event. Their presence signifies not only their fealty to Sigismund but also their acknowledgement of Count Adolph's worthiness for such an esteemed position. Richental's meticulous pen-and-ink technique brings depth and detail to every aspect of this composition. From the intricate patterns on clothing to the expressions on each character's face, every element tells its own story within this larger narrative. This remarkable print from "Chronik des Konzils von Konstanz" transports us back in time to an era where titles were bestowed by kings and emperors held immense power over their realms. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of feudalism and reminds us of how history
