EDITORS COMMENTS
This phototype print showcases Wilhelm IV, the Duke of Julich-Kleve-Berg, in 1540. The German School from the 19th century beautifully captures his regal presence and intricate attire. Wilhelm IV (1516-92), also known as William "the Rich" was a prominent figure during the Renaissance period. This portrait depicts him at a time when he held significant power over the territories of Juelich-Cleves-Berg. The artist behind this stunning piece is Heinrich Aldegrever (1502-1555), who meticulously engraved Wilhelm's likeness based on his own drawing. Aldegrever's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, highlighting Wilhelm's noble features and wavering Catholic beliefs. Published by Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz (1850-1922) in an esteemed historical portraiture collection called "Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" this image offers a glimpse into the life of one of Germany's influential rulers. Displayed here is a photograph of the original artwork, preserved in a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. This phototype print allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance.
