Sir Johann VI Hans von Kronberg and his Wife Katharina: A Glimpse into Late 15th Century German Nobility This chromolithograph depicts Sir Johann VI Hans von Kronberg (died 1488) and his wife Katharina von Reifenberg, as portrayed on their grave effigy in St. Johann Church, Kronberg im Taunus, Hessen, Germany. The image is taken from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Sir Johann, dressed in a long, colorful mi-parti tunic, hose, and a doublet, is shown performing surgery, reflecting his profession as a surgeon. His patient lies on a wooden table, with a book on surgery or chirurgie nearby. The detailed woodcut illustrates the surgical tools and instruments used during the operation. Katharina, Sir Johann's wife, is dressed in a fashionable costume of the late 15th century. She wears a fitted, long-sleeved tunic and a voluminous, pleated skirt, accessorized with a fop or dandy-style hat. The intricate design and vibrant colors of their costumes showcase the artistic and fashionable aspects of the German nobility during this era. This chromolithograph, a combination of lithography and chromolithography, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the affluent and powerful during the late Middle Ages. The influence of Hieronymus Braunschweig's "Das Buch der Cirurgia" (The Book of Surgery) can be seen in the detailed depiction of the surgical scene. Overall, this image provides a fascinating insight into the world of 15th-century German nobility, their fashion, and their daily lives.
