EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and vibrant "Pages from the Album Amicorum of Philipp Hainhofer, 1596-1633". Created by an unknown European artist, this pen and ink watercolor on paper artwork measures 20.8x16 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The album itself, known as Das Grosse Stammbuch or Book of Friendship, was compiled by Philipp Hainhofer, a prominent German merchant, banker, diplomat, and art collector based in Augsburg. Completed during the advent of the Thirty Years War, it serves as both a monument to the princes of Europe and court art. Written in multiple languages including German, Latin, French, and Italian; these pages were completed across Germany, Italy, and Bohemia. The composition features courtly figures adorned with ornate wings and laurel wreaths alongside coats of arms representing royal families. The manuscript's colorful depictions are illuminated with scallop motifs while grotesque elements add an elaborate touch. With its baroque crown cresting above a cartouche filled with fame symbols, the artwork exudes opulence. Each page tells stories of friendship through autographs collected by Hainhofer himself. Dating back to the 16th century (XVI century), this piece represents not only a snapshot into history but also showcases exceptional craftsmanship that prevailed during that era. The combination of rich colors, bright imagery, and detailed heraldry make this work truly remarkable.
