EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking chromolithograph, we behold the noble visage and imposing figure of Stephan Baumgartner, Patrician of Nuremberg, as depicted in the late 19th century by the renowned German historian and artist Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The image, taken from his comprehensive work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," transports us back to the early 16th century, a time of great artistic and cultural flourishing in the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg. Baumgartner's regal attire is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the era. He wears a richly decorated tabard, the short coat of armor worn over a tunic, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and heraldic symbols. The tabard is fastened by a belt, which holds a sword and a lance, symbols of his martial prowess and authority. His helmet, a masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship, is embellished with elaborate engravings and a crest, reflecting his noble lineage. The Patrician's gaze is fixed, unwavering, and resolute, as if he is prepared to defend his city and its people from any threat. The background of the print features an altarpiece, reminiscent of the works of Albrecht Dürer, who was a contemporary of Baumgartner. The painting, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, adds to the overall sense of grandeur and opulence. This image, now housed in the Alte Pinakothek Museum in Munich, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Nuremberg during the High Middle Ages. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of this period, which continues to inspire and captivate us to this day. The meticulous detail and historical accuracy of Hefner-Alteneck's work make this chromolithograph a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and anyone interested in the history of fashion and medieval culture.
