EDITORS COMMENTS
Frederick IV, Elector Palatine of the Rhine (1574-1610), is depicted in this stunning engraving by Jacques Grandhomme, showcasing the 16th century nobleman in his regal hunting attire. The Elector Palatine, a member of the powerful Wittelsbach dynasty, is known for his love of hunting and is often depicted with his loyal dog by his side. The intricately detailed engraving captures Frederick IV's bearded face, framed by his flowing hair and adorned with a fur-trimmed hat. He wears a richly decorated suit of armor, complete with a helmet under his arm, signifying his military prowess and status as a ruler. The elector is mounted on a magnificent horse, with a hunting horn in hand and a gun at his side, ready for the chase. Surrounding the elector are various animals, including a stag, a wild boar, and a fox, symbolizing the abundance of game in the Palatinate region. The engraving also features a grand house in the background, representing the wealth and power of the electorate. Frederick IV's reign was marked by religious and political turmoil, including the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War. Despite these challenges, he remained a champion of righteousness and justice, earning him the nickname "the Winter King" due to his icy demeanor and unwavering resolve. This engraving offers a glimpse into the life of a powerful and respected ruler of the 16th century.
