"The 15th Century: A Glimpse into a Time of Transfiguration, Power, and Intrigue" Step back in time to the 15th century, where history unfolds before our eyes. In the magnificent fresco "The Transfiguration, " we witness Christ adorned in brilliant white, surrounded by Moses and Elijah. Below them stand the apostles John, Peter, and James, captivated by this divine spectacle that speaks of transformation. Meanwhile, across Europe's landscapes, significant events shape the course of nations. The Bishop of Tournai receives his tithe of beer in an enchanting engraving from this era. This image transports us to medieval Belgium as we observe the bishop collecting his dues amidst bustling streets filled with merchants and townsfolk. In London's Baynards Castle on June 26th, 1483, Richard Duke of Gloucester is offered kingship—a pivotal moment captured through a vibrant lithograph. The weighty decision hangs in the air as Richard contemplates his destiny while courtiers eagerly await his response. Delving deeper into society's beliefs and fears during this period is Ulrich Molitor's treatise on diviner women and witchcraft—an intriguing engraving that sheds light on superstitions prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of how perceptions shaped lives centuries ago. Amidst political turmoil lies Queen Margaret of Anjou—both captivatingly portrayed through colored engravings and aquatints. As consort to King Henry VI of England during turbulent times known as Wars of Roses—her strength shines through these artistic renderings. Not all scenes are centered around royalty; Archduke Maximilian pays a visit to an armorer—an engraving that showcases not only craftsmanship but also highlights the importance placed upon military might during those years. Military habits take center stage again with vividly colored engravings depicting attire worn throughout both the 15th and 16th centuries.
