EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Portrait of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, derived from his seal. The image showcases Frederick, seated majestically on a throne, adorned with a crown, scepter, and orb. The throne of the Holy Roman Empire is prominently displayed to the right. Known as Barbarossa or "Redbeard," Frederick I ruled from 1152 to 1190. He was a significant figure in European history, leading military campaigns against the Normans and the Slavs, and playing a crucial role in the Third Crusade. The background of the image reveals iconic landmarks from various Italian cities. The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Torre di Garisenda in Bologna, and the towers of Asinelli and the Campanile in Venice are all recognizable. These structures add an intriguing element to the portrait, emphasizing the emperor's connection to the European continent. The engraving is an excerpt from "Il Costume Antico e Moderno," a comprehensive work on ancient and modern costumes of the peoples of the world, published in Florence in 1844 by Giulio Ferrario. The work was illustrated by Andrea Bernieri, who skillfully hand-colored the copperplate engraving, adding vibrant details and depth to the image. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, power, and culture of the Middle Ages, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on European history, art, or fashion.
