Duke Bernard of Saxe-Weimar (1598-1639): A Portrait of a 17th Century Military Leader from the 30 Year War This chromolithograph depicts Duke Bernard of Saxe-Weimar, a prominent military figure during the tumultuous 30 Year War in Europe (1618-1648). Born in 1598 as Bernhard III, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, he was a key commander for the Protestant forces during the conflict. The image, taken from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," was published in Frankfurt in 1889. The illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The lithography was expertly executed by FB and published by Heinrich Keller. Duke Bernard is shown in full military regalia, embodying the grandeur and power of the era. His armor is adorned with intricate designs, and he wears a plumed helmet, signifying his high rank. A sword and sash complete the ensemble, further emphasizing his status as a formidable warrior. The 30 Year War was a complex and devastating conflict, with religious, political, and economic factors fueling the hostilities. Duke Bernard played a significant role in the war, leading Protestant forces against the Catholic forces of the Holy Roman Empire. His military prowess and strategic acumen earned him a reputation as a formidable opponent and a respected leader. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the fashion, history, and culture of the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role Duke Bernard played in shaping the course of European history during this tumultuous period.
