EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of Prince Elector Frederic II of Hessen-Kassel, captured in an oil on canvas masterpiece by Alexander Roslin around 1785. The portrait depicts the prince in a three-quarter length pose, exuding power and authority. Dressed in an elaborate costume, Prince Elector Frederic II wears a sash adorned with the prestigious Order of the Garter. The motto "honi soit qui mal y pense" is proudly displayed, symbolizing his noble character and integrity. His attire is further embellished with lace details and a stylish jabot, adding to his aristocratic charm. The prince's uniform reflects his military background, complete with a sword featuring an intricately designed pommel. As he stands confidently before us, one can almost feel the weight of his armor that lies beneath his elegant garments. Prince Elector Frederic II's wig adds to the grandeur of this portrait as it frames his face with cascading curls. Every detail in this artwork speaks volumes about the subject's status and importance within society. This exceptional piece belongs to a private collection previously owned by Fleming Berndes from Sweden. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it offers us a glimpse into the life and legacy of Prince Elector Frederic II during 18th-century Europe.
