EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Wandalus, King of the Wenden" is a remarkable piece from "The Origin of the First Twelve old Kings and Princes of the German Nation" collection. Created by an anonymous 16th-century German artist, this print showcases the regal figure of Wandalus, a powerful ruler in his time. Adorned in majestic robes and proudly displaying his coat of arms on his shield, Wandalus exudes authority and strength. His gaze is firm yet contemplative, hinting at the wisdom that comes with ruling over a nation. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life every aspect of Wandalus' royal attire - from the delicate patterns on his garments to the ornate design on his shield. Beyond being just a visual masterpiece, this artwork also holds historical significance as it sheds light on Germany's early monarchs. It serves as a testament to their influence and legacy within German history. Accompanying this stunning portrayal are lines of poetry or perhaps even excerpts from ancient texts that further elevate its artistic value. These verses may offer insights into Wandalus' reign or provide symbolic interpretations for viewers to ponder upon. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this print captures not only an era but also invites us to delve deeper into our understanding of power dynamics and cultural heritage during medieval times.
