241 - Engraving depicting Prince Sigismund Báthory of Transylvania, 1596, copper engraving, laid paper, The figure of the Transylvanian prince Sigismund Báthory has remained in the collective imagination primarily because of his ties to Michael the Brave, voivode of Wallachia. He ruled Transylvania several times between 1586 and 1602. Politically, he shifted between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, ultimately joining the Holy League and marrying Maria Christina of Austria, one of Emperor Rudolf II’s nieces. As he drew closer to Habsburg policy, several propaganda engravings featuring his portrait were produced, including this one, made in 1596, probably in an Austrian workshop after an original by the German engraver Hans von Aachen (1552–1616), 25 x 19
