She and her husband employed the visual arts to further their political agenda to all Flemish social classes, relying upon the Baroque style popularized in the wake of the Catholic Reformation.  Isabella and Albert VII thus stimulated the growth of the Flemish Baroque, becoming patrons of Peter Paul Rubens, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Coebergher, the De Nole family, and the Van Veens, ushering in the beginning of a Golden Age in the Southern Netherlands and transforming their Court at Brussels into one of the foremost political and artistic centers of Europe at the time.  Upon the death of Albert in 1621, Isabella joined the Third Order of St. Francis, hence her depiction wearing the nun's habit in this portrait.

Ernst was the successor of the expelled Gebhard Truchsess von Waldburg, who had converted to Calvinism and initiated a war of religion in northern Germany.  The Electorate of Cologne was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire. It consisted of the temporal possessions of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cologne, and was ruled by the Archbishop in his function as Prince-Elector of the Empire. The capitals of the electorate were Cologne (until 1288) and then Bonn. It was secularized in 1803 during the German Mediatisation.\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe portrait is surrounded by a wonderful decorative motif featuring the Oldest Electoral Hat, signifying the subject as a Prince-Elector, or simply Elector, a member of the electoral college of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Doge of Venice, which is often mistranslated as \"Duke,\" was the chief magistrate and leader of the Most Serene Republic of Venice.  The Doge was the senior-most elected official of Venice and Genoa, as both cities were republics and elected Doges. Grimani began a  quarrel with the papacy during his reign as Doge, limiting the power of the Papacy within the Republic of Venice and withdrawing a number of clerical privileges.  As a result of these actions, Pope Paul V placed the Republic of Venice under a Papal Interdict during the reign of Grimani's successor, Leonardo Donato.  The portrait is surrounded by a wonderful decorative motif mimicking a frame set against an etched background.  The design features a subtly ornate frame with two sets of drapes resting atop a base with a decorative broach-like oval framed by two additional cherubs draped in a botanical design.

He was husband to his first cousin, Sybille of Cleves, the youngest daugther of William, Duke of JŸlich-Cleves-Berg and Maria, Archduchess of Austria, daughter of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, and a Knight in the Order of the Golden Fleece, an exclusive order of chivalry.  He is identified as such by the neck order, a livery collar, he is wearing in this portrait.  As a child of the morganatic and secret marriage between Ferdinand II and Philippine Wesler, a woman from a European family of great significance and wealth, yet not nobility, Charles of Burgau, along with Philippine's other children, received the name \"of Austria\" but would only be entitled to inherit the Habsburg's domain if the House of Habsburg became totally extinct in the male line.  Thus, the sons born of this marriage received the title Margrave of Burgau, an old Habsburg possession in Further Austria.  The portrait is surrounded by a wonderful decorative motif mimicking a frame set against an etched background.  The design features a subtly ornate frame with two sets of drapes resting atop a base with a decorative broach-like oval framed by two additional cherubs draped in a botanical design.  This piece is accompanied by the original German biographical text printed on a separate sheet and features a decorative drop cap and an exquisite vignette  incorporating the heraldic, two-headed Quarter Eagle and the Crown of the Austrian Empire and a botanical inspired tailpiece.\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 290+ year old Item is rated Near Mint \/ Very Fine.

Many of the portraits include separate biographical pieces ranging in length from a single paragraph to several pages for more notable European monarchs and emperors. If present, the accompanying text is in German and is composed of beautiful woodcut text, with most pages containing elegantly etched drop cap initials, head-and tail-pieces and vignettes.  The superb, folio-sized stock upon which the collection is engraved and etched employed the latest advances in eighteenth century paper making and highlights the era's predilection for strong, lightly sized paper with a fine structure and smooth surface.  The paper's characteristics are thus similar to Japanese Gampi, and the result is well-preserved and crisp images that exceptionally capture Rosbach's fluid and sharp line work.  This collection represents a unique opportunity to collect a valuable part of European history stunningly composed and illustrated.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeywords specific to this image: Von Harrach, Von Mansdorff, von Turn, Passau, Von Maynburg, von Leobebach, Sumberg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEUM4C22 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38477820945,"sku":"150515_EUM4_039","price":302.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/EUM4_039.jpg?v=1571712819"},{"product_id":"1721-copper-engraving-portrait-leonardo-dona-donato-doge-republic-venice-italy-151365-eum2-134","title":"1721 Copper Engraving Portrait Leonardo Dona Donato Doge Republic Venice EUM2","description":"This is an original 1721 black and white copper engraving of \"Leonardus Donatus Doge.\"  This is a portrait of Leonardo Donࢰ (or Donato), the 90th Doge of Venice, reigning from 1606 to 1612. The Doge of Venice, which is often mistranslated as \"Duke,\" was the chief magistrate and leader of the Most Serene Republic of Venice.  The Doge was the senior-most elected official of Venice and Genoa, as both cities were republics and elected Doges. The portrait is surrounded by a wonderful decorative motif mimicking a frame against a wonderfully etched background.  It features two lions flanking a cherub resting above an angelic face at the top of the print. From the corners appears a cascading grape vine design that flows downward, undulating past two grotesque heads, and framing the sides of the portrait.  Upon the base of the frame two dragons sit at the corners, while an ornate, broach-like oval is found in the center, flanked by two additional cherubs.\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 290+ year old Item is rated Very Fine +++.
