EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts Hennel Landschad von Steinach (d. 1377) and his wife Mia von Sickingen in a 14th-century grave effigy from the church in Neckarsteinach, Germany. The image, created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903), offers a glimpse into the fashion, art, and chivalric culture of the Middle Ages. Hennel, a knight, is shown on horseback, slaying a dragon, symbolizing his bravery and loyalty. His armored attire, adorned with intricate heraldic designs, represents the high standards of craftsmanship and the importance of heraldry during this period. Mia, the princess, is depicted in a more tranquil scene, kneeling in a garden, possibly representing the virtues of sleep and peace. Her elegant attire, consisting of a wood and leather box, a cabinet, and various curiosities, reflects the refined taste and prosperity of the nobility. The intricate details of the illustration, from the knight's armor to the princess's accessories, showcase the meticulous research and expertise of Dr. Hefner-Alteneck. The image also highlights the significance of castles, towers, and other architectural elements in the Middle Ages, as well as the influence of Proebes, a popular art form during this time. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, art, and culture of the Middle Ages, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical art and costume.
