But all sorts of art and images became available to a pretty wide range of society through books, but also through inexpensive images of Biblical and popular figures and stories. You might be interested, for example, in the prints illustrating the Power of Women: https://nydamprintsblackandwhite.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-power-of-women.htmlAnne E.G.

I could always read my Spanish and test out of many years in placement tests, but per conversation, I just wasn't on par with my over-the-counter set of ears I inherited. But that is neither here nor there. I am gobsmacked by this print. Graphic representations of personal and social relationships of men and women, and generations, are new to me. Paintings are the forms with which I am most familiar. Graphic images communicate in ways that written words cannot. Now I have to think about the depiction of information through block prints with the advent of books. Not everyone could afford the color of oil painting portraiture nor the hand illumination of pages in individual copies of books. Now I have to think about the sociocultural changes to graphics that the printing press wrought.

His caption makes him Fridrich, archduke, and possibly a [holy] Roman Emperor. But the orb and sceptre and mitre are clearly ecclesiastical acoutrements and I don't know how that relates. Looks like it gives his birth date, so it should be possible to look him up and figure out who he actually is, but like I said, I don't have the time for a whole research project, tempting as it may be. =)Anne E.G.

I found your abess:<br />q: Katharina was eyn Äptissin zewien zu Sant Clara<br />q: Katharina was an abess, consecrated (my guess) to saint Clare. <br /><br />Which one do you see as a possible pope? Because all I can see are kings or dukes (Herzog / Erzherzog) and even maybe a Roman emperor. Charlotte (MotherOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01059356989361649639noreply@blogger.com
