EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the medieval era, depicting a significant historical figure - Henry the Lion. Created by Johann Jakob Kirchhoff in 1840 as an illustration for "Geschichte des deutschen Volkes" by E. Duller, this woodcut print showcases the artist's skill in capturing both the essence of Henry's character and the atmosphere of that time. Henry the Lion, known as Duke of Saxony and Duke of Bavaria, was a prominent figure in German history. This image portrays him during his final days in Brunswiek before his death. The monochrome picture adds a sense of solemnity and depth to this portrayal, emphasizing Henry's importance and legacy. The fine details within this artwork reveal Kirchhoff's mastery in book design and artistry. The intricate lines bring out every feature on Henry's face, conveying his strength, wisdom, and perhaps even hinting at some hidden vulnerabilities. Beyond its historical significance, this print also incorporates elements from mythology, allegory, literature - all contributing to its rich storytelling quality. It serves not only as a visual representation but also as an invitation for viewers to delve into Germany's past. Preserved within a private collection until now, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to connect with our cultural heritage through art. As we gaze upon it today with admiration for both Kirchhoff's talent and Henry the Lion’s legacy; we are reminded once again of how history continues to shape our present understanding
