Hans Holbein the Younger’s Madonna of the mayor Jacob Meyer zum Hasen (1525/26 and 1528) was influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Virgin of the Rocks (around 1483-86)
Along with Holbein, Hans Burgkmair—shown in Lukas Furtenagel's Hans Burgkmair and his wife Anna (1529)—was a highly influential figure

Hermine Reuss of Greiz was one of the five daughters of Heinrich XXII
Her childhood was overshadowed by the death of her mother in childbirth and the incurable disability of her only brother
A 13-year marriage to Prince Johann Georg of Schönaich-Carolath produced five children before her husband’s death from tuberculosis
However determined never to be married again
Hermine ended up meeting the exiled German Emperor Wilhelm II
The book Hermine: An Empress in Exile was released on 11 December 2020 in the UK and will be released on 1 January 2021 in the US
With the rise of National Socialism and Adolf Hitler
Hermine saw an opportunity for herself to become more than an Empress in name
She wanted the restoration of her husband and encouraged the attention of Hermann Göring – a powerful figure in the Nazi party –- who came to Huis Doorn twice
Hermine was allowed to travel into Germany
She also had the use of apartments in a former palace in Berlin.
Hermine attended the Nuremberg Rally – the annual rally of the Nazi Party – in 1929 and even showed up uninvited at a party thrown by Adolf Hitler
Hitler and Göring in the salon of Baroness von Tiele-Winckler was arranged
He presented himself to Hermine as the saviour of the nation
Hermine did not leave until one in the morning
The Nazi Party had seen the benefits of contact with the former German royals
but were becoming more reluctant to entertain that relationship
guests gathered at the house of Frau Victoria von Dirksen
but Adolf Hitler delayed his arrival for another half hour
“No one is more aware of the great merit that the House of Hohenzollern has acquired for the Fatherland
in the present moment such a measure will provoke only unrest and turmoil
this attitude we have to take into account in our delicate situation today
has by no means welcomed a sweep of this kind
I can tell Your Imperial Majesty in the strictest confidence that an exceptionally important English agent will inform me even before we have taken the government the English government has been most concerned about any attempt to reintroduce the monarchy in Germany.”
Hermine believed that the monarchist movement was making progress
Nazi-leader Ernst Röhm had said to expect a monarchy by the autumn
the Emperor wrote,” My return to the throne cannot happen fast enough for her
She follows the Nazis and does all she can in Berlin
I try to give her a good example with my reserved attitude
If I am ever able to take up the reins of government again
then providence will take care of it.”
Adolf Hitler continued to send mixed messages as to a possible restoration
and it seems Hermine remained convinced for quite some time
“One’s heart leaps when one thinks of what the Führer has again given Germany this past year – universal military service!” She added
“God preserve this man whose aims are so very pure!” To an officer
“We are all so proud of our new army – what an achievement by the Führer
what a leap over the ditch of the Treaty of Versailles!”
Hermine sent a telegram to Adolf Hitler proudly announcing the engagement of her daughter Henriette to her step-grandson Prince Karl Franz of Prussia
If she still had any belief of restoration with the help of the Nazis
this surely ended with her husband’s death the following year.
Adolf Hitler was represented at the funeral by the Reichs Commissioner for the Netherlands
Hitler had probably wished to attend himself but in the words of the Emperor’s daughter Viktoria Luise
“He wanted to use this opportunity to walk behind the German Kaiser’s coffin in front of whole German people and the world
to show them he is the legitimate successor.”
