Keizerin Kunigunda in een nis 1512 - 1558

This engraving by German Renaissance artist Heinrich Aldegrever, created between 1512 and 1558, depicts Empress Kunigunda, wife of Emperor Henry II, in a niche. The intricate detail of the engraving showcases Aldegrever's skill, particularly in rendering the drapery and the ornate crown. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Aldegrever's mastery of the engraving technique and his ability to capture both the grandeur and piety of his subjects.
