The Submission of Philip, Landgrave of Hesen in 1547
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. Created by Maarten van Heemskerck and engraved by Dirk Volkertsz Coornhert in 1555, this artwork depicts the aftermath of the Schmalcaldic Wars and the triumph of Catholic forces over Protestant ruler Philip I of Hesse. In this scene, we see Philip kneeling before an imposing imperial throne composed of personifications of the four Cardinal Virtues. The defeated prince pays homage to Emperor Charles V, who sits enthroned as a symbol of his victory. Surrounding them are clergy members and bishops representing both sides of the religious conflict. The print evokes a sense of humiliation for Philip and his fellow Protestants while highlighting the power dynamics between different factions within Holy Roman Empire during this tumultuous period. It also showcases van Heemskerck's mastery in capturing intricate details and conveying historical events through art. This artwork serves as a testament to the complex relationship between religion, politics, and power during the Northern Renaissance era. It reminds us how deeply intertwined these aspects were in shaping European history. Now part of a private collection but originally created as part of a series depicting Emperor Charles V's military achievements, this engraving offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Germany's rich past and reflect on its impact on modern Europe.
