EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Louis II the German, also known as Louis the Germanic or Louis the Bavarian, who ruled as the King of Bavaria from 806 to 876. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834, offers a striking and detailed representation of the medieval monarch. Louis II is shown wearing a sagum, a type of military cape, draped over his shoulders and fastened at the neck with a brooch. Beneath the sagum, he wears a short military doublet, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. The king's regal attire is completed with a tall, pointed crown, a scepter, an orb, and a sword. Louis II was the eldest son of Charlemagne, the Frankish king, and was granted the lands of Bavaria as part of his inheritance. He is known for his military prowess and his efforts to Christianize the Slavic peoples in Eastern Europe. This portrait captures the essence of a powerful and influential ruler of the medieval period, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcolored copperplate print bring the image to life, making it a valuable historical document and an intriguing work of art.
