EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustration of Philippus, a prominent figure from ancient Roman history. Created in 1559 by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner in Zurich, this woodcut captures the essence of Philippus with remarkable detail. The image portrays Philippus as an emperor, his profile etched onto a coin. The intricate lines and shading bring out the regal features of his face, while the inscription adds historical context to this fascinating piece of art. Philippus, also known as Philip of Swabia, reigned as King of the Germans from 1198 to 1208. His significance during that time is evident through this portrayal on currency – a symbol of power and authority. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable insights into Philippus' life through its accompanying description from Jacob Strada's treasure trove. Preserved in a private collection today, this woodcut offers us a glimpse into ancient Rome and its imperial rulers. It reminds us of their influence on society and how they were immortalized through various mediums like numismatics. As we admire this exquisite piece captured by Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch after centuries have passed since its creation, let us appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
