EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 4" of Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki and Eberhard Siegfried Henne's "History of the Middle Ages," created in 1793, presents a striking etching that captures the essence of the Middle Ages in Europe. The image depicts Marie Joséphine de Saxe, also known as Marie Joséphine of Saxony or Marie Joséphine of Brabant, who served as Queen of France during the late 18th century. Marie Joséphine is shown standing proudly, dressed in medieval attire, with a crown on her head and a scepter in her hand. She is surrounded by various figures representing the continents and countries of Europe, including a man representing France, who is bowing before her in homage. The intricate lettering at the bottom of the plate identifies each figure and their respective locations. This etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the Middle Ages, a time marked by the rise of powerful monarchs and the establishment of distinct national identities. The black and white contrast adds to the historical and timeless feel of the image, transporting us back to an era of knights, castles, and grandeur. Marie Joséphine's regal presence in the etching highlights the important role women played in European history during this period, often serving as queens, consorts, and rulers in their own right. The intricate details of the figures and the lettering, as well as the overall composition, make this a captivating piece of art that continues to fascinate scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts alike. This etching is part of the extensive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which showcases a vast array of art from various periods and cultures. The museum's commitment to preserving and exhibiting historical works such as this one allows us to explore and learn about the rich artistic and historical heritage of humanity.
