As Friedrich is often regarded as a rather uninteresting monarch, this is the only major modern artistic depiction of him that I am aware of. Unlike other rulers of his day, he was not a great patron of the arts, so there are relatively few depictions him in general, making this one quite special.

This weekend I got a chance to visit #Cologne and to see the statue of the late #medieval Emperor Friedrich III of Habsburg (r. 1440-93), the main subject of my thesis, on the facade of the city hall.
