Georg Heinrich Schifflin’s “Kroning van Karel III tot Duits keizer Karel VI, 1711” is a 1712-1715 etching depicting the coronation of Charles VI as Holy Roman Emperor. This detailed, baroque-style artwork is filled with allegorical figures and ornate decoration that represent the power and authority of the new emperor. The central scene shows Charles VI being crowned in a grand architectural setting, while the surrounding figures and decorative elements symbolize the divine right of kings and the power of the Habsburg dynasty. The inscription at the bottom provides further context to this historical moment, making this artwork a significant historical record of the event itself.
