Friedrich der Fromme, also known as Frederick the Pious, is a notable portrait painting by the German artist Georg David Matthieu. Created in the 18th century, this work exemplifies Matthieu's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through meticulous detail and a refined sense of composition. Georg David Matthieu, born in 1737 and active primarily in the Northern German regions, was a prominent portraitist of his time, known for his ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters with remarkable clarity and elegance.

The painting depicts Frederick III, Elector Palatine, who was a significant historical figure known for his devout Protestant faith and his role in the religious and political landscape of the Holy Roman Empire during the Reformation. Frederick III, often referred to as "the Pious" due to his staunch support for the Protestant cause, ruled the Electoral Palatinate from 1559 until his death in 1576. His reign was marked by his efforts to consolidate Protestantism within his territories and his support for the Heidelberg Catechism, a foundational document of Reformed Christian doctrine.

In Friedrich der Fromme, Matthieu captures the Elector Palatine in a dignified pose, emphasizing his noble bearing and pious character. The portrait is characterized by its detailed rendering of Frederick's attire, which reflects his high status and the fashion of the period. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights Matthieu's technical proficiency and his ability to create a lifelike representation of his subject.

This work is an important example of 18th-century German portraiture and provides valuable insight into the historical and cultural context of the time. It also underscores Matthieu's contribution to the art of portrait painting, showcasing his talent for blending realism with an idealized portrayal of his subjects. Friedrich der Fromme remains a significant piece within Matthieu's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
