Saint Henry (Emperor Henry II). Artist: Joseph von Führich (Austrian, Kratzau 1800-1876 Vienna). Dimensions: sheet: 9 1/16 x 7 1/16 in. (23 x 18 cm). Date: 1800-1876.In minute pen lines and delicate touches of wash, Henry II, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire from 1002 to 1024, is shown holding a model of Bamberg Cathedral, which he founded. His nimbus, inscribed in Latin "Saint Henry the Emperor,"refers to his canonization; his crown, ermine robe, and armour refer to his power as a secular ruler. The drawing is an outstanding example of the later style of von Fühich, who, in his youth, had been a member of the Nazarene Brotherhood and later spread their influence in Austria as professor at the Vienna Academy. The drawing's purpose is unknown; it may have been a design for a book illustration or a church decoration. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
