EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, created by the renowned German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder in 1533, captures the elegance and regal presence of Sibylle of Saxony (1510-1569), Electress of Saxony. The painting, which is now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, showcases Sibylle in her formal attire, dressed in black, with a chain of office draped over her shoulders and a bejeweled headdress adorning her head. Sibylle's posture is confident and proud, with her arms folded across her chest, emphasizing her authority as an electress, a title given to the wife of an elector in the Holy Roman Empire. The intricate beadwork and embroidery on her dress and headpiece add to the opulence of the portrait, reflecting the wealth and status of the House of Wettin. The portrait is an excellent example of the fashion of the time, with its high collar and voluminous sleeves, and is a testament to the artistic skill of Lucas Cranach the Elder. The oil on wood painting is a treasure of the Renaissance period and a significant piece of German and European art history.
