EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history known as "The faithful women of Weinsberg". In 1140, during the Weinsberg siege led by Conrad III of Hohenstaufen, the wives of the defeated soldiers displayed unwavering loyalty and love for their husbands. As depicted in this pen drawing from Anton Ziegler's "Historische Memorabilian des In-und Auslandes" (1840), these courageous women carried their husbands on their backs. In an act of selflessness and devotion, these loyal wives eschewed their possessions to ensure that they could bear the weight of their beloved partners. The image showcases the strength and determination radiating from each woman's face as they carry out this incredible feat. Their resilience serves as a testament to the power of love and solidarity even in times of adversity. The scene takes place against a backdrop representing Germany, where this extraordinary display unfolded centuries ago. The historical significance is further emphasized by King Conrad III granting these brave women permission to save their husbands amidst defeat. Preserved within a private collection by Geiger, Peter Johann Nepomuck (1805-80), this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind Ziegler's work but also the profound story it tells. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, there have been countless acts of bravery and sacrifice performed by individuals whose stories deserve recognition and admiration.
