EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we find a portrait of William V, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel (1602-1693), a prominent figure during the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. The image, created by the skilled hand of German engraver Philiph Kilian (1628-1693), showcases William V in an oval frame, dressed in full armor and adorned with a long, flowing beard. The Landgrave's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and determination. William V ruled over Hesse-Kassel, a significant territory within the Holy Roman Empire, during a time of political and religious upheaval. His reign, which lasted from 1637 until his death in 1693, was marked by various military conflicts and diplomatic maneuvers. This portrait, created in the late 19th century as a facsimile of the original engraving, serves as a testament to the historical significance of William V and the House of Hesse-Kassel. The intricate details of the armor and the rich colors used in the engraving highlight the artistic skill of Philiph Kilian. The Landgrave's letters, which are visible on his chest, signify his position and rank within the Holy Roman Empire. The shield he holds bears the arms of Hesse-Kassel, further emphasizing his identity and status. This portrait, a piece of European history, offers a glimpse into the life and times of William V, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of the 17th century.
