EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the commanding presence of Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar, a German prince and general who played a significant role in the Thirty Years War. The portrait, taken in 1903, showcases his strong physique and impressive beard, reflecting the fashion trends of the 17th century. Bernhard was known for his leadership on the Protestant side during this religious conflict. He rose to prominence after assuming command at the Battle of Luetzen in 1632 when King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden fell in battle. Under Bernhard's guidance, the combined Swedish and German army achieved victory. The engraving is part of "The World's History: A Survey of Man's Record" by Dr HF Helmolt, published in London. It provides us with a glimpse into an important period in German history as well as highlighting Bernhard's crucial role within it. Johann Durr is credited as one of the creators behind this print. His skillful craftsmanship brings out every detail, capturing not only Bernhard’s physical features but also conveying his status as royalty and leader through subtle nuances. This historical artifact serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and learn from those who have shaped our world through their bravery and determination.
