EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century portrait depicts Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, in the heat of battle against the Turks at Mohács in 1687. The allegorical painting, created in the Dutch or French artistic school, is a copy after Joseph Vivien's original work. Maximilian II Emanuel, also known as Max Emanuel, is shown in full armor, his determined gaze fixed on the viewer. He is flanked by allegorical figures representing Fame (Fama) and the Holy Roman Empire. Maximilian II Emanuel was a key figure in the defense of Europe against the Ottoman Turks during the late 17th century. The Battle of Mohács was a significant victory for the Christian forces, halting the Turkish advance into Europe. This portrait serves as a testament to the elector's bravery and leadership during this pivotal moment in history. The painting is executed in copper metal, a popular technique during the 18th century. The use of copper metal adds an element of grandeur and durability to the artwork, reflecting the importance of the subject matter. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Europe. The portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and heroism, when the fate of Europe hung in the balance. Maximilian II Emanuel's legacy lives on, inspiring generations to come with his unwavering determination and courage.
