Rudolf I of Habsburg - 13th-Century Holy Roman Emperor Portrait #3239125 (License: Personal Use)

This late medieval panel painting portrays Rudolf I (1218-1291), elected King of the Romans in 1273 and founder of Habsburg imperial power. He wears an ornate crown, a richly embroidered golden mantle over red-and-green robes, and holds a scepter-like sword and globus cruciger; heraldic shields-the black eagle of the Empire and the fleurs-de-lis of Burgundy-flank his head. Latin inscriptions identify him and date the work to around 1350-1360, likely from the workshop of the Master of the Luxembourg Genealogy.
