EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ludouicus II, a prominent figure in history, through an intricate woodcut illustration. Created by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner in Zurich back in 1559, this artwork is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its time. Ludouicus II's profile is depicted with great detail, highlighting his majestic presence as King of Italy and Roman Emperor from 844. The woodcut captures his regal essence, emphasized by the inscription and crown adorning his head. His well-groomed beard adds to the air of wisdom that surrounds him. The artist behind this masterpiece, Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch (1525-71), has masterfully recreated Ludouicus II's likeness based on ancient numismatis - coins that were used during that era. This attention to historical accuracy makes this artwork even more fascinating. As we delve into Ludouicus II's life story further, we discover additional information provided within the title: "Addita cuiusque vitae descriptione ex thesauro Iacobi Stradae". This suggests that there are detailed descriptions accompanying each image within this collection. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into both artistry and history. It serves as a reminder of how visual representations can transport us back in time while igniting our curiosity about those who shaped our past.
