About the piece
This striking 1602 oil portrait by Zacharias Wehme captures Prince Elector Christian II of Saxony in full ceremonial splendor. Dressed in masterfully detailed black and gold etched armor and a vibrant pleated red sash, the Elector's presence is anchored by the sophisticated contrast between the gleaming metalwork and the deep, atmospheric background characteristic of the Late Renaissance.
