Portretten van Salzburgse kardinalen Sigismund II de Schrattenbach, Eberhard II de Truchsen en Burchard I de Ziegenhagen in allegorische voorstelling 1722 - 1768

This allegorical print, "Portretten van Salzburgse kardinalen Sigismund II de Schrattenbach, Eberhard II de Truchsen en Burchard I de Ziegenhagen in allegorische voorstelling," by Johann Baptist Klauber was created between 1722 and 1768. The engraving depicts three Salzburg cardinals, Sigismund II de Schrattenbach, Eberhard II de Truchsen, and Burchard I de Ziegenhagen, in a highly symbolic composition. The cardinals are surrounded by cherubs, angels, and allegorical figures, representing their virtues and achievements. The scene unfolds with a dramatic sense of depth and movement, incorporating elements of both heaven and earth. The print likely aimed to celebrate the cardinals' roles in the Salzburg Church and their contributions to the city's cultural and political life.
