EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a medieval queen in all her regal splendor, seated gracefully on her ornate throne. The queen's flowing robes, adorned with intricate gold and jewel embellishments, cascade down to the floor, while her haloed head is crowned with a diadem encrusted with precious gems. The throne itself is a masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship, with intricate carvings and gilded accents. The queen's expression is serene and confident, reflecting her divine right to rule. The image is taken from Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Hefner-Alteneck was a renowned German historian, artist, and antiquarian, known for his meticulous research and attention to detail. This chromolithograph is a testament to his dedication to preserving the fashion and history of the medieval period. The queen's holy aura is emphasized by the use of rich colors and bold lines in the chromolithograph. The intricate patterns and textures of her robes and the throne are brought to life through the use of multiple printing plates, resulting in a vivid and lifelike image. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical document, providing insight into the fashion and culture of the medieval period.
