EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a noble knight from the mid-15th century, clad in intricately designed battle armor. The knight's checkered tunic, worn over stockings, is adorned with exquisite detail, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the medieval era. Above his helmet, two ethereal angels tenderly hold his coat of arms, a symbol of his noble lineage and valor. The knight is armed with two formidable weapons: a war hammer, A, and a sword, E. The war hammer, a versatile and powerful weapon, was commonly used in close combat, while the sword, a symbol of chivalry and honor, was essential for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. This stunning illustration is a masterpiece from the Dresden Print Museum, Wurzburg Historical Society, and Munich Museum, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the late 19th century. The illustration was drawn by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator. Hefner-Alteneck, who served as the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886, brought his extensive knowledge and expertise to the creation of this magnificent work. This image, published by Heinrich Keller, is an invaluable resource for those interested in medieval fashion, history, and art. The intricate details of the knight's armor, the delicate wings of the angels, and the rich colors of the chromolithograph transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the grandeur and pageantry of the medieval era.
