About the Item

Set of 7 original antique prints titled: 1) Les Germains tuent les Lions (..) 2) Le Poëte couronné par Othon le grand 3) Arminius et l'enfant blesse 4) Maximilien oubliant ses revers (..) 5) Louis le débonnaire 6) Othon le grand et son fils 7) Rudolphe de Habsbourg This collection presents a fascinating assemblage of seven original antique prints, each offering a window into pivotal moments and personages from European history. Dated to around the year 1800, these prints would draw the interest of collectors and historians alike, particularly those with a passion for the medieval and early modern periods. 1) "Les Germains tuent les Lions" – This piece depicts a scene of Germanic tribes demonstrating their valor by slaying lions, a subject that would intrigue those interested in the folklore and mythos of Germanic culture. 2) "Le Poëte couronné par Othon le grand" – Otto the Great crowning a poet provides a rich narrative of the Holy Roman Empire's patronage of the arts, resonating with collectors of literary and cultural history. 3) "Arminius et l'enfant blesse" – Featuring Arminius, also known as Hermann, who famously led Germanic tribes to victory against Rome at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, this print would appeal to those fascinated by Roman history and its adversaries. 4) "Maximilien oubliant ses revers" – An evocative scene showing Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, perhaps in a moment of reflection or forgiveness, could be of significant interest to those studying the Habsburg dynasty and European courtly life. 5) "Louis le débonnaire" – Portraying Louis the Pious, Charlemagne's successor, this print would attract those with an interest in the Carolingian dynasty and the complex political and religious transformations of the era. 6) "Othon le grand et son fils" – Otto the Great with his son could be a representation of the succession and dynasty, central themes in the study of monarchies and the Holy Roman Empire. 7) "Rudolphe de Habsbourg" – Rudolf von Habsburg in mortal danger would undoubtedly capture the attention of collectors keen on the Habsburg lineage, pivotal in European power dynamics. This set of prints, given its depiction of historical figures and events, would hold great appeal to collectors of historical engravings, educational institutions, and enthusiasts of the depicted periods. The subjects span a range of significant moments, from the dramatic tales of the Germanic tribes to the intricate politics of the Holy Roman Empire, offering a rich tapestry of European history rendered in the detailed and expressive medium of printmaking. Each print not only tells a story but also serves as a testament to the artistic techniques and aesthetic sensibilities of the period in which they were created.
