EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of August II. der Starke, the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland from 1670 to 1733. The image, captured in 1884-90 by an anonymous German School photographer, is a phototype reproduction of an engraving by Christian Albert Wortmann after a painting by Louis Silvestre. August II. der Starke's commanding presence is beautifully depicted in this artwork, revealing his regal stature and dignified demeanor. The intricate details and expert craftsmanship highlight the skillful execution of both the original painting and its subsequent engravings. Published as part of Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz's "Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" in the late 19th century, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into history through the lens of artistry. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of August II. der Starke, whose reign left an indelible mark on Saxony and Poland. Preserved within a private collection, this rare print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind its creation but also provides insight into the life and times of one of Europe's influential monarchs. Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art enables us to relish in these historical treasures that transcend time itself. As we admire this exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded once again how photography can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
