About the Item

Antique portrait titled 'Basilius Magnus (..)'. Portrait of Ivan IV (1530-84, 'the Terrible'). This print originates from 'Tooneel der keyseren ende coningen van christenryck sedert den onderganck van het Griecks keyserdom vervatende hare beeltnissen afcomsten ende voornaemste daden (..)'. Ivan IV Vasilyevich (Russian: ???´? ????´??????; 25 August 1530 – 28 March [O.S. 18 March] 1584),[2] commonly known in English as Ivan the Terrible[3][4][5][6] was the grand prince of Moscow from 1533 to 1547 and the first Tsar of all Russia from 1547 to 1584. Ivan was the son of Vasili III, the Rurikid ruler of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. He was appointed grand prince after his father's death, when he was three years old. A group of reformers known as the "Chosen Council" united around the young Ivan, declaring him tsar (emperor) of All Rus' in 1547 at the age of 16 and establishing the Tsardom of Russia with Moscow as the predominant state. Ivan's reign was characterised by Russia's transformation from a medieval state to an empire under the tsar but at an immense cost to its people and its broader, long-term economy. Artists and Engravers: Published by J. Janszoon, Arnhem. (Source:wikipedia) The English word terrible is usually used to translate the Russian word ??????? in Ivan's nickname, but this is a somewhat archaic translation. The Russian word ??????? reflects the older English usage of terrible as in "inspiring fear or terror; dangerous; powerful; formidable". It does not convey the more modern connotations of English terrible such as "defective" or "evil". Vladimir Dal defines grozny specifically in archaic usage and as an epithet for tsars: "courageous, magnificent, magisterial and keeping enemies in fear, but people in obedience". Other translations have also been suggested by modern scholars, including 'formidable'. (Wikipedia) Condition: Good, general age-related toning. Few worm holes, Dutch text on verso. Please study image carefully. Date: 1615 Overall size: 18 x 30 cm. Image size: 12 x 15 cm. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space. We offer a wide range of authentic antique prints for any budget.
