Notes |
Deutsch: 1563 verkündete Joachim II. sein lutherisches Glaubensbekenntnis, hier ist er nicht als protestantischer Fürst dargestellt. 1569 erfolgte nach Verhandlungen mit dem polnischen König die Mitbelehnung mit dem Herzogtum Preußen. In dem hohen und ungewöhnlichen Pelzhut sieht Forschung ein polnisches Kleidungsstück, mit dem Joachim II. möglicherweise die enge Verbindung zu seinem Schwager, dem polnischen König Sigismund II. August betonen wollte.
English: In 1563, Joachim II declared his Lutheran profession of faith, but the rosary in this portrait (ca. 1570) suggests he is not a Protestant. In 1569, following negotiations with his brother-in-law, the Polish King Sigismund II Augustus, Joachim was co-enfoeffed with the Duchy of Prussia. The striking fur hat worn by Joachim has been interpreted by some researchers as a Polish item of apparel possibly intended to manifest his close connection with the Polish throne. |
