EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Esteban I Bathory (1533-1586), the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Bathory, a Hungarian nobleman, rose to power in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth following the death of King Sigismund II Augustus in 1572. In the image, Bathory is portrayed in a regal and masculine manner, dressed in the robes of a king, adorned with a royal diadem, and holding a scepter. He is flanked by a queen, believed to be his second wife, Anna Jagiellon, who is also dressed in the finery of a queen. The vertical composition of the engraving emphasizes the grandeur and majesty of the monarchy, with Bathory and his queen towering over the viewer. The use of color adds depth and richness to the image, bringing the royal figures to life and highlighting the intricate details of their clothing and accessories. This engraving is a testament to the power and prestige of the Polish-Lithuanian monarchy during the late 16th century, and the influence of the noble classes in shaping the political landscape of Europe. Bathory's reign was marked by military successes against the Ottoman Empire and internal political instability, ultimately leading to his downfall and death in 1586. Despite his controversial legacy, this engraving captures the essence of the monarch as a powerful and regal figure, worthy of admiration and respect.
