EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print captures the intricate details of a rear view of three-piece breastplate armor from the 15th century. The armor, also known as Harnische-Schmiede Plattner, features engraved and jointed arm pieces, showcasing the craftsmanship and functionality of medieval protective gear.
Originally part of a suit of armor housed in Vienna Arsenal, this piece is a testament to the artistry and skill of armorers from centuries past. The illustration by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck beautifully brings to life the historical significance and design elements of this late 15th-century armor.
Dr. Hefner-Alteneck's expertise as a museum curator, archaeologist, and illustrator shines through in this detailed depiction, providing viewers with a glimpse into the world of chivalry, tournaments, and medieval warfare. The chromolithograph technique used to reproduce this artwork adds depth and vibrancy to every etched line and curve.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the clashing swords and thundering hooves of knights in battle. It serves as a reminder of an era where honor, bravery, and skill on the battlefield were paramount. This piece is not just a work of art but a window into history that continues to inspire awe and admiration for the craftsmanship of our ancestors.
