Burgundy Finger Maria Married Maximilian Places Ring
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the historic moment when Maximilian I, the Holy Roman Emperor, sealed his marriage bond with Maria of Burgundy in the grand castle of Winkl, Austria, in 1477. The young Maria, dressed in the rich colors of the House of Burgundy, gazes intently at her new husband as he places a golden ring on her slender finger. The intricate design of the ring, adorned with precious stones, symbolizes their union and the power and wealth of their noble houses. The marriage of Maximilian and Maria was a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening the political and territorial power of the Habsburg dynasty. The union brought together the vast territories of the Burgundian Netherlands and the Austrian lands under one rule, paving the way for the future Habsburg Empire. The ceremony took place in the magnificent castle of Winkl, nestled in the picturesque Alpine landscape. The grandeur of the occasion is reflected in the opulent attire of the bride and groom, as well as the lavish decorations and the large retinue of nobles and courtiers in attendance. The customs of the time dictated that the bride and groom exchange rings as a symbol of their commitment and love. The ring was a valuable and personal possession, often passed down through generations as a family heirloom. The act of placing the ring on the bride's finger was a solemn and significant moment in the marriage ceremony, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the newlyweds. This beautiful photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of European royalty and the customs and traditions of the past.
