EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Dracula (Vlad Tepes)" and created by the German School in the 15th century, offers a glimpse into the mysterious world of one of history's most infamous figures. The image depicts Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, also known as Dracula or Vlad Tepes. With his piercing gaze and enigmatic smile, Vlad Tepes emerges from this artwork as an archetype of darkness and intrigue. His head and shoulders are portrayed with meticulous detail, capturing both his regal demeanor and underlying menace. This portrait serves as a haunting reminder of the vampire folklore that has become synonymous with Romania. The woodcut print originates from a German history book about Dracula published in LAobeck by Bartholomaeus Gothan. It is part of a private collection now made accessible through Prismatic Pictures. Vlad III ruled Wallachia during the mid-15th century, leaving behind a legacy characterized by his brutal methods of punishment - impaling his enemies on long stakes. This earned him the chilling moniker "Vlad the Impaler". Bram Stoker's iconic novel "Dracula" drew inspiration from these tales surrounding Vlad Tepes. As we contemplate this intriguing piece of artistry, it transports us to an era shrouded in mystery and folklore. The woodcut print invites us to delve deeper into our fascination with vampires while reminding us that legends often find their roots in historical figures like Vlad Tepes.
