EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Queen of Flowers" created by the Master of the Playing Cards in Germany during the 15th century. The engraving, printed from two plates, beautifully captures a female monarch seated with her hands resting gracefully in her lap. Adorned with an exquisite headdress, she exudes regal elegance and poise. The Queen's portrait is a testament to the rich heritage art that emerged during this period. Her royal stature is evident through her posture and attire, symbolizing power and authority. As one gazes upon this image, it transports us back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this artwork serves as a reminder of the artistic mastery achieved by the Master of the Playing Cards. His attention to detail brings life to every line etched on paper. While we admire this remarkable piece, it is important not to overlook its historical significance. This portrayal offers insight into German culture during the fifteenth century and provides glimpses into societal norms surrounding women in positions of power. "The Queen of Flowers" captivates viewers with its timeless beauty and leaves us pondering about an era long gone but forever preserved within these delicate engravings.
